Some comparisons on Human Fine Plate armor. Here are the tint values you are seeing in the image:

Fine Plate / Bronze / Crafted
Deepwater / Tolans / Paineel Steel
Rubicite / Valorium / Blood Ember

I really like how the Rubicite contrast looks, a bit on the fence with the Tolans / Blood Ember, but the accents look pretty sweet on it. I think it even breaks up the horrible Deepwater armor look.

In each quadrant the left most shows P99 standard tinting (overall), the middle shows just the colored ornamentation cropped out, the right shows colored ornamentation + black chain bits cropped out. I like the middle view best.

Judge for yourselves!

How are you generating the images of the corrected models? They look great btw

[Rygar]

To generate the images i am just finding an image of the base texture (untinted), then manually creating the mask areas in photoshop.

I then apply the RGB value of the armor tint according to ZAM in a new layer (set it to 'Multiply'), and it comes out looking like that.

Thanks for the positive feedback!

I really feel bad for people who think custom content is coming to this box before the 2024 presidential election

Don't let this happen. First you want more aesthetic pixels. Then you get gingerbread man mercenaries.
