TAZZ I think you dropped the ball on this one. Sure there gold and you achieved that but at the cost of loosing all detail both these vehicles had. Brightside is correct in a sense when he was applying of a "color overlay". When I thinking of a vehicle thats gold I don't see 100% of it needing to be that way. It lacks alot of definition to it. In a way it looks like someone carved vehicles out of gold bars then vehicles with a gold theme.

Research back through old topics labeled with themes similar to this and you'll see what im speaking of. Not just gold but a color theme in general. As for right now im not going to rate cause im not sure if TAZZ is going to understand what im pointing out. If this is a "final" version then I have to go 6/10 for theme execution but -4 for the sacrifice of detail.

Skins need detail also or we would all be in MS Paint. :wink:

So, pepsi says the same thing I do and then you go and say you agree with what he said. But when I posted, you don't agree with me but only "respect my opinion"?

pssh.

Brightside you said nothing about the gold thing.. you just mentioned that it looked bad and was simple with nothing to say otherwise, pepsi gave me a full reason to his thoughts.

Lol, Brightside, more "wordy-er" can make a huge difference in my opinion, but yeah whatever, and yeah, hell_knight, banshee and ghost made of gold, the title sorta gives it away if you use your imagination.

But hey, Il change it to suit it more.

Pics?

Theme execution: 9/10

Usefulness: 0/10

But I still think it's cool.

Make a gold mod where everything metal is gold. The lulz.

The pics with the mirror surface is the second screeny on my first post, also I was going to make a gold mod but gave up because I messed up alot of things and most of the scenery textures look bad with gold because the cubemap doesn't stand out as much therefore it looks more or less like just one color.
