Chainmail picture

Hey guys, any of you happen to have any good pictures of chainmail I could use for texturing? Thanks.:san_laugh:

I modded some chainmail some time back, but not sure if its what you are looking for.

Still trying to refine it. But let me know if you want the .dds texture file for this:

They look more like they're wearing woolen sweaters.

Yeah, that time I might have made the spacing a li'l too wide on them rings. Hehe, lazy to thread them thru again :san_grin:

Ok hehe, figured I'd try to give it another go at the chainmail.

Here's the revised one. Doesn't exactly look like a wooly coat anymore, but... i dunno.. something still doesn't seem right.....

Any opinions/advice?

Ooer! Hmm, I think the problem in your chainmail lies in that it's basically a flat texture you've used on the model. There's no feeling of depth or shadow. Adding highlights and shadows to create a realistic effect is a tricky business. I prefer just to edit the original RTW chainmail when attempting to improve the default mail texture.

Ditto, I used the clone tool in PSP to make myself a nice big piece of chainmail out of the RTW textures.
