Just a quick update - I started playing with the texture painting on the suit, including opacity, gradient transition, geometric pattern, and decals. I'm not 100% satisfied with the back portion yet, and it might be fun to try something on the shoulders. Otherwise, I'm trying to keep in mind that a good chunk of this will be covered in hard-surface armor, anyways! It would just be nice to show layers in the breakdown.
Definitely want to put this back on the character soon and do some test rendering in Marmoset. This week has been a little crazy as I've been house hunting and dealing with paperwork. Hope to have more time soon!
