My name is Gato I have metal joints, beat me up and earn 15 silver points



Aight, I be shingling it up. A few thoughts:

-The saturation of the shingles look higher than all the other objects, I think thats a bit distracting...especially since red is a jarring colour.

-there still isnt a dirt/grime map on this sucker...I think it will look really awesome with the suggestion of grime/dirt running down from the top of the wagon.

- Specular: Right now I have a spec map on it thats similar to modern day shingles...you can barely see it...its little flakes of spec. I think I should move to a general noise for the spec and keep its intensity really low.

its taking along time because im shaping every individual tile...I dont want completely flat tiles, I want the illustion of kinda weather-worn floppy tiles.

the wood under the tiles needs to be addressed, the break is too clean...if I can add some splints and the suggestion of broken wood, im golden. Im still gonna work on the tiles a little, its impossible to see in these renders...but theres a bit of stretchys going on that I want to address

opa!

looks great man, the roof is definetly going in the right direction.
i agree about the colour. desaturate those badboys, weather would make em all dingy and colourless.

i dont think u need to do too much on the roof really. just break up the edges on the hole and texture em nicely. that hole needs to be broken and spilntered.

im not quiet sure if i know whats going on with the metal sheet but ill see if its workin later.

good work G
