Pakled and TG: The armour isn't textured at all. L That's the raw material. It's not even UVMapped properly yet. I am going to rework it slightly so there is a just-barely-pushed (Max Push modifier, inflate basically) surface over the lamellar so that I can have a reflection map on the metal parts without that reflection map on the silk lacings. The lamellar was normally iron, brass, or bronze plates laced together with silk and lacquered to protect against rust, making it an odd material setting -- basically a normally reflective metal but with a smaller highlight to portray the more plasticky effect of resin laquer. I'm also going to subdivide the shouldermapads (osode) so that they can be stiff as above or floppy, as this varied from synasty to dynasty (actually in the later dynastys the square osode went away altogether, and I MAY (not sure yet) add a seperate type of osode as an option for those. The sune ate on the shins are made from metal splints banded together with more metal to provide very solid protection for the otherwise vulnerable shin and hamstring area. I gave them a brassy metallic material for the preview, and I'll see what looks best before release.
