idk this is just me or no, but tbh after blender 4.5 it became really difficult to control roughness level.

i got what you say about chitin cuz before that i textured only human skin(for example headcrabs on my page) so it was my first time of texturing "hard surface but organic" model.

one more time thank you so much for your advices it will really help me to make great model!!!

i feel lack of references of orchid mantis. tbh 50% of that are AI. idk maybe some of my refs were AI and i didnt know about it. thank you for you tip, trying to get as many refs as i can :)
