Help me with texturing

[analog gulch]

Dont try to be prefect

look up armor

if you find something that is okay try to implement the details of the armor

in this

and then ask for feedback

just try it, you can always undo later

U can try to take a look at how artist do shading on miniatures (pic. 1). And u can try to texture ur armor in a similar way using pixel art shading techniques (pic. 2).

One thing I will also say is to try imagining what your character would be made off

That helps a lot

@digital knoll @analog gulch laid some foundations for a gilded look hows it look

[digital knoll]

looks good, keep going

[fervent void]

Any suggestions?

[digital knoll]

same as before, nothing new for now

[analog gulch]

yea just keep doing it

you should make yourself a palette for each color of like 9 colors

so you have your main and then 4 shades and 4 highlights

[digital knoll]

ig its a bit too much for him rn. Im using palettes with 4-8 colors usually. He dont need 9 colors. Number of colors is not the point of texturing, u just need to use ur color in a right way. Good texture with less colors is always better than just gradient of 100500 colors

imao

[analog gulch]

No 9 Colors is to make yourself a range

and you only use as much as you need

also on such a big models or big resolution not sure

9 colors are not much imo

[analog gulch]

yea I am not saying to texture like minecraft sometimes does on the shulker for example

[fervent void]

@analog gulch @digital knoll added some more colors

[digital knoll]

looks good so far, but try to make shades edges a bit more smooth, not that square

[fervent void]

i dont understand what you mean
