On the left is an alternate, shinier texture than I originally used for this costume. Any thoughts are welcome!

I think the shiny version on the left is more visually interesting and works better when rendered.

I like the first - shows more detail.

Thanks, Annie! That's why I tried an alternate texturing scheme and your answer is most helpful to teh Mollz!

Not gonna bite, it's a trap.:D
Both look gorgeous and you should know the answer :)

Heh. I like 'em both, Marius but I am interested in which appeals to other viewers. It looks like the shinier version on the left is more visually pleasing to a lot of people which is good for teh Mollz to know!

The shiny one looks artificial. So it depends on context. The current fashion seems to be the shinier the better but I hate it.

That's interesting, Mazzam. I used the texture on the left (the less shiny one) because I have some of those same feelings. We may be in the minority on this one. Thanks so much for weighing in, my dear!

Definitely go for the shiny.

Heh. Shiny is in the majority so far. Thanks for your helpful opinion, my dear!

The left version has sharper outlines and more details, I follow the comments before. Regards Anne

Thanks for weighing in, Anne. I've been very interested in how textures work for other people's perceptions!

I also prefer the version on the left, as it has better lighting giving it much more depth and detail in the bodysuit, mask, and cape. But, the version on the right is good for a darker, more dramatic effect. It probably depends on the mood your are trying to convey.

Thank you for weighing in! The lighting and pose is identical so the differences are all in the material. Your opinion seems to be with the majority but your thoughts about the intention of the artist are interesting. I do think the less shiny material is darker and maybe a bit more dramatic. I think most people like to see more detail. Thanks again!
