What jumps out at me is that the images are too small to really see. If you could make links to larger and possibly less compressed images, there may be some comments.

Looks like a good start. But more attention needs to be paid to the maps and how they line up. It might help to set up the uvs for the model parts if the angles are causing you a headache.

but I see where the bump map is thick enough to have been modeled in, and then it doesnt line up with the plane whose edge it shares.

What are theparameters your shooting for? is it going for low density mesh? if not Id bevel some edges to catch light at the corners.

thanks for that. The bump on there was just a quick procedural thing to see if it made much difference. I've now taken that off.

Basically what I'm trying to do is get it looking as realsitic as possible. I'm in the process of re-uving the model. Its been through so many packages at various places i've worked, that it's all a bit messy. Originally it was a low res mesh, but I'm not going for that now, so I'll do the bevel thing; that's something which I usually do, but out of sheer laziness I haven't started on here, but I guess now is as good a time as any to do it!

Any tips on creating realistic shaders?

[RichSuchy]

My suggestion is to pay close attention to how light moves across the real texture. Its not just a picture but how the light works on the texture that convinces us when an object is in motion.

:) Best of luck!

My suggestions would be try and come up with a better design for the feet. The folding tripod type feet are really old.

[Mattrne]

damn, but those are the bits I like!

[caffeineman]

well you don't have to change those bits completely, just modify, or add to them so they aren't so genric.

is this for a game model? if it is it's good start.
