This is how I made those small spots, metal porous. Used "water droplets" from textures com
Replying to @veezen3d
Those little spots look great, how did you made them, with a stencil?

A good resource for finding references for a prop is: EBAY! 🛍️ You get all sorts of close-ups, details, breakdowns, and measurements. You can model over most of the images too, a wonderful site to explore for references. #gameart #gamedev

Hosting the @StaffsGamesDev Let’s Talk Games conference at historic Leamington Spa with @StaffsUni - great to see so many future #gamesDevelopers in one room. First up, the brilliant @SpecialEffect talking about the essential work they do.

Dear #gameart students please be aware that art informs art. Exposing yourself to photography, architecture, fashion, culinary arts, mechanical engineering etc all develop your understanding of forms, functions, aesthetic and art direction. Diversify ✌🏻❤️

🖌️In this video, I'll cover how to create non-destructive ArtStation thumbnails for your portfolio. This technique can be applied to any type of portfolio shot that requires a consistent layout, brand, and post effect. #gamedev #gameart

Sunak and Braverman have had much to say about what would be disrespectful on Armistice Day. This video of far right thugs, metres from the cenotaph, moments before the 11am silence, provides a textbook definition. Shame on them.
