I think I know that. <_<

I don't understand the appeal of dirty guns. For the most part, people try to keep their guns clean. Granted, there are parts of any complex geometric metal object that will be impossible to clean, but people seem to have a fascination with filthy, beaten up weapons.
Finally someone that agrees, thank you Ironclad for noticing what should be common sense to most people. Would rep you, but I can't. :(
IMO, It can go both ways. Yes, I would normally try to keep my gun clean and shiny. But, If you were actually fighting in a war and were in battles that lasted days, well I don't think you'd be too concerned about keeping it clean. It would most likely get dirty, and would have scratches and such from being beaten around and actually used.
IMO Most things on games look better old and battered.

Update. Not sure why the front of the magazine looks so... not matching. In the bitmaps its just as dirty as the side, but for some reason it always looks clean in max. I know for a fact its using the same material. Also, I might have to turn the spec down a bit.
lol... danes like a physco with that red paint brush.
To be honest the amount of grime will ultimately be determined by the original intentions of the person actually making the texture XD.
Like silent said, it could be a gun that just got shipped in, or something along those lines.
Personally I loved the first one, although it probably might have needed a few marks added to it (what wol said about the stamped text was right too, those areas wear down a bit on guns usually) and maybe a few other spots.
The second image looks like theres just too many scratches to me. The areas I personally dislike are the trigger guard, if thats what you wanna call it (scratches jus seem to sudden and in your face, and maybe less of them would be better) Then the grip seems weird to me now, not sure why though.
E: after another comparison lol, the grip was way better before you tried to please Dane... XD it also seems darker now.
Why would a semi-automatic pistol have automatic stamped on the side? :confused2:
