Re: Jay's Stormy Improvement Thread

I don't know how texturing works in the BF engine, but can't you apply a shiney specular map to the hood and helm, armour etc?

Re: Jay's Stormy Improvement Thread

Yeah, it still wont look like that crumpled plastic material, but I have tweaked the specular map to make some parts of the "hood" more shiny than others

You could try subtley using some of these from CGtextures:
Textures \ Plastic \ Packaging

and then adding some highlights in appropriate places?
