Pipe set (texture question)

[Vida Marcell]

Hello everyone, i've been vorking on a modular pipe set. And i'm going to finish the modeling in a clouple days. But i cant choose the correct type of material of it, should it be a shiny metallic steel, or painted metal like in mirrors edge. I imagine the pipes in somewhere mid-europe. So help me choose the correct material please!

hi,

if you want to sell it or make it public in any other way, you might consider adding multiple texture-sets (rusty, new, painted in different colors) maybe as well some variations with some spray or signs on the pipes. If you need it for internal only, it highly depends on the pipes' usage. Industrial-pipes are often colored by their meaning, e.g.: yellow usually means gas, etc.

If the pipes are older ones you should use some old metallic with some rust on it, newer ones should be, if not painted, a clear steel like material.

What you could also do is create a shader that allows you to change the paint color without effecting any rust or the valve wheel.

I was thinking about it, but where i live there are not even pipes on the street or in buldings. So i'll keep it on yellow

Allright, i finished it.
