Hello!

I got question, if you are modelling for games then i shouldn't use v-ray materials and stuff like that, right? I should just paint my textures on model with photo-shop(i prefer that).
Here's my one model with textures i made:
upload.ee/image/1628158/sword.png
See? They always end up so cartoonish Is there any example by someone that can show how he made real cool shiny metal?

Thanks,
Surmav

Wow no answers at all.. But nvm i learned some bump mapping witch helped a lot

It all depends on the Game engine and what shaders it supports. Old Game engines can't simulate metal shaders so you have to paint everything on your textures, like rust and bumps that would make them objects like metallic.
