[WIP] l85a1, looking for skinners.

[.50Calibre]

Hi all,first post in these forums,

this is a L85a1, for a Desert Storm mod im working on, there are a few errors atm but ill sort it all out, without changing the structure of the model, so the maps wont be affected

ive unwrapped it very poorly, im new at it, but it works, and ive started to skin the plastic bits, however i cant get the metal bits to look right, i want to achieve a battered worn effect,

if anyone has any tips please post em here, or if anyone wants ago at skinning it, ill upload it,

If its ok with the skinner for the skin to be included within the mod, then the model wont be released for any format with that skin untill the mod is released, and full credits will be included, with the mod.

:sniper:

Well, let me be the first to say "HOWDY" :cheese:
A little bit back someone had started a tutorial thread, and I found this pretty awesome tutorial for a worn metal effect.
Click here
It has many uses other than the worn metal, just play around with the technique some, I hope it will be of some help to you.
