    a bit too much sharpening on the new textures, but looking way better than the original for sure !

      No sharpening at all, sadly it's a side effect of working from the normal map to bake the occlusion and curvature maps, instead of having a high poly to bake from. (basically it picks up the scratches and dents from the textures and thinks they're part of the shape).
      I'm doing my best to hide the effect, I'll probably find some tricks down the line.

      If this helps... i work with a vanilla asset and indeed this was a problem.
      Most meshes are just LOD level, so if you try to subdivide with a smooth set you can have a good highres mesh, i use catmull for general subdivision, but before that i use a basic no smooth subdivision in some parts, i take this high mesh to bake the normal, after that i add the original normal as a layer so i could edit it, just make a mask to fade stuff etc... after that i use this frankenstein normal as a base to bake everything for the texturing.
      Hope this helps! :)

      That's a good solution, but with my current bad workflow that would probably take quite a while...
      I'm experimenting with simply blurring the normal map. Not very clean but it seems to do the trick.

    This looks incredible so far. I think it'll be nice when the pipe weapons are closer to matching the quality of your zap guns.

      Thanks! It’s a nice challenge to try and match the aesthetic of the pipe gun with these textures.

    Yes please! I can't stand the vanilla textures but no others have got it quote right, this does :D

    pretty sure everyone actually hates the pipe weapons, at least that's the general tone set by youtube

      That’s the joke.

    The yellowy bronzy rusty weird color of the pipe guns along with the way too light wood makes it such an eyesore. Thanks for making these bearable to look at!

      There’s still a fair amount of attachments to go through, but Thanks!

    Please tell me you'll also do the Syringer weapon as well, because it shares many of the same attachments with the Pipe gun.

      I'll see how far I get on with it, but probably?
      The syringer is not as bad honestly.
      I'm doing the revolver for sure.
