here is a little animation just to show you how the phong looks ingame : <img src="http://sleekupload.com/uploads/phonganimation_1.gif"0">
here´s the vtf:
i worked a lot on it enjoy
The texture is very nice but I don't think the phong looks good. Way too shiny in my opinion.
Pros: The phong and bump maps show the textures and details of this glove at such a high degree. Notes: Very impressive, great work doods!
These gloves have potential. Too bad the normals/phong dont do them justice...
Check out what It looks like with proper normals/phong.

Pros: 10/10 its sleak. To the point and unbelieably surreal
Really nice work on the Phong and ive been looking for some leather gloves for a long time 10/10
Yeah, I should make a tutorial. But my english sucks, so I'll need someone to help me with them.
yeah i´ve never been good at doing normals and that was my first time i used phong i always have problems with my exponent maps so it´d be very nice of me if you would make a good tut i think
Pros: skin and normal map, except for the cons. Cons: Normal map looks a bit flat to be leather. Read Improvements. Improvements: Use an exponent texture (saved as I8 format), instead of "$phongexponent" and a value. Look at my phonged sofa, and see how it looks with that feature.
For improving the normal map, make a new, simple leather heightmap, normalmapfilter it, and mix it with the gloves part of the normal map. Then save it as BGRA8888 format to avoid the bad quality compression of the DXT format.
Notes: If you think that is too shiny, just reduce "$phongboost" value. It's very easy to do it (by NOTEPAD), easier than making a lower assessment because of that.
This is way too good to be less than 10 or 9.9... The only complaint is MAYBE just MAYBE the phong is a bit too strong..
Damn! this is indeed one of the only gloves really worth to be called expert work! congrats and keep up fantastic work! :)
