yeah,.. I went thru this little dilema myself,.. I tried to make a "Good" Chainmail outfit for a character,.. what I mean by good is one that came out rendered looking the way I wanted to I checked out all the ones found for free and in various marketplaces and after investigation everyones looks a bit like chainmail if really far away or usually just like scalemail,.. not one gave the effect I was really looking for so the project has been shelved for the past few month,.. after a great amount of time making textures for it,.. and having better artists then I help me make them I still wasnt happy,.. only way I found close was too heavy and that was model the chainmail it self no just a piece with holes and a tex map of the appropriate metal but that many rings well the artists which I appreicate thier efforts declined to work on as the one sample piece they made me which might have been a small percentage of the whole was already a huge obj anyways Im rambling,.. if your looking for plate or scale types theres plenty out there to get ideas and it'll go alot smoother,.. and also if anyones brave or has any ideas on chain reply I could finally finish this idea
