well that makes a lot of sense, it's still very cool, props to you man

i would have, the problem is the way i wanted it to perfectly wrap around the weapon without any seams and colors matching on every part of the weapon as if a real damascus was cut to make the parts, if i were to make it pattern based it would end up having too many seams and breaking up the pattern on different parts, when making it i wasn't solely thinking how cool it would look, i was also thinking it needs to make sense for it being made of titanium damascus. i see your point, and i did try to make it that way but i wasn't happy with it either uv seams or seams caused by triplanar projection. it would be cool for perhaps a different logic or approach.

no problem, i think it would be 10 times better if you could make it pattern based

I thought i had, thanks for noticing

you forgot to add a screenshot when the weapon is in idle
