A little update for those who are still following. Straps are more or less done, I added the edge details on them and the face contour of the bridle, smoothed the edge of the leather pieces so it’s more rounded. I also added a plume socket to the forehead strap.

I’m not sure if I’m going to keep all those “inner face” rivet heads as polygons or if I will use the texture for that, they kinda eat a lot of polygons for detail stuffs. The outer ones however will stay as they are.

On the second set of pictures you can see how it looks with the material IDs set (in black and red, my favorite :D) So the inner face + edges will be independent of the outer face, maybe the metal bits too… I’m not sure yet.

Still a lot of work to do:

• Unwrapping everything.
• Adding the buckle prongs.
• Adding eyelets (textures or polygons?)
• Making stitches.
• Figure out where the KDC logo would add an elegant touch without going all “advertisement” like.
• Removing all the hidden surfaces.
• Making LODs.
• Rendering textures.
• Scripting.

As usual, I’m open for suggestions 🙂
