Working on some shaders for Crysis and i think i've got the illumination nailed down pretty tight.
The diffuse is not final by any means the diffuse in this was made by myself, teltaurs having a crack at a diffuse himself.
what im looking for is crit on the shader, im going for a pearl like effect on the main shell peice.
Please ignore the smoothing group as that was Cryexport not my own doing, apparently models with seconds that have no smoothing on automaticly gets one even if you dont want it to.
As such will be fixed soon all im looking for is comments on the shaders.

First one have a more pearl like shader than the 2nd, more like metal.
Yours need more gloss and reflectivity. Right now it looks quite plastic like.

As you can see yours isn't quite how pearls look (3rd), as it doesn't reflect the environment and doesn't have quite a predominate glare.

that would be a ridiculously inefficient repair drone

He does.

But when I look at it, it reminds me of palican/hornet mixed together. In a good way.

Lol, that's the spirit!

I liked it. Were you going for a halo theme? Because I mean, that's kind of what you came out with. The front thing reminds me of the scorpion turret. And then of course the wings are pelican wings. But it looks pretty good.

keep in mind this is a TERRIBLE model, and nobody should ever model like this if you want to make a proper model. in this case, it didnt matter, so i just hacked and chopped to save time.

If it weren't for that, I'd say the model looks very boring and strange in a lot of areas.

[ExAm]

Is that a piece of a scorpion turret on its nose?

[neuro]

yeap

Was bored and wanted to make a late 19th - early 20th century style Vault door. What do you guys think?

lose the pedestal, it seriously fucks up the render. if you absolutely must put your models on some random piece of mesh, at least make it match the model you're showing off.

You mean kevin johnstone?

the mechanism looks pretty wicked but that damage is beyond fucked, in fact i'd say that

I think it looks like dense rubber :/
