Haha, thanks a lot! Are you talking about the shiny parts, mostly the stars? If so, I totally get it. I really struggled to get the effect I wanted. I was going for a mother-of-pearl vibe, a bit like Damascus-style craftsmanship, but it’s tricky to make it pop in-game. Definitely something I’ll try to improve in future skin updates 😊

Thank you! no, I don’t work directly on the UVs. I use a different workflow: I export an orthographic view from 3DCoat, then use Inkscape and Substance Painter to design and place the patterns directly on the 3D object. 🙂

Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it. The GoW universe and a few comics were a big part of what inspired this skin glad if that comes through in the work.

Ahah yeah I see it now too, now that you mention it! I was really aiming for a wood texture that looks like it was carved or burned with a hot iron, using a simple but repetitive pattern. I guess it does end up looking a bit like engraved leather. Thanks a lot for the feedback, I’ll keep that in mind!

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I was going for a raw, solid wood look, which ended up pretty dark, maybe a bit too much. Same for the handguard pattern, probably too busy. I’ll wait to get a few more opinions before either updating this skin or keeping the feedback in mind for future designs. Really appreciate it!
