TrinityPrime Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) With Dark Colors. The shiny material develops a kind of hazy lighting effect on the weapon making it look terrible when exposed to any light source, which really vexes me since I'm trying to match it to my Trinity's color set. I've tried gammas and other such to no avail. The greater the lighting in the area, the worse a dark colorset Soma Prime looks. This is the same with some of the Archwings as well. The material just looks bad with dark colors, like it's biased towards the lightish/neon colors. Edit: Same Colorset on Soma Prime that's on my Trinity. Or does anyone have tips on getting the darker colors to work without looking terrible on that material type?

izzatuw Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I just don't like how it does not look like a prime at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alighierian Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 pretty sure it's just the 'material' and the way colours work on them. On some it works pretty nicely, on other materials it's so garbage you have to adjust the colour due to light sources. My opticor, for example. I wanted to give it a metalic-grey main body. I had to make it darker than I wanted because in some light sources it would practically shine and kill enemies with the reflections, or look like it was sick and about to puke yellow/brown goo.

TrueHawkEye Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 i've noticed that the pass few prime weapons dont have that gold shine like the others its like have a mate finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbister Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 It's the best looking Prime imo, it has enough "Orokin weirdness" but not too much (a example of too much is Boltor P and those golden bones things) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulgar_Strike Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 It's the new "Peanut Butter rendering" that DE is using to make all the new stuff. Look at Limbo with black primary colors. Same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaugahn Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 The problem is that the metal is a shiny gold, and no matter what color you make it it's still shiny gold underneath. That's something that's going to need tweaking if they want to keep going with PBR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityPrime Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Ya, this shiny material does not go well with dark sets. looks fine to me :/ Edited January 5, 2015 by KnotOfMetal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shimonoki_Ryuji Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Especially crappy both Somas look in the relays, where no matter what colors you choose, it shines bright-blue. I don't see a reason to make a weapon so shiny, it's like it's coated with chrome all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocent_Flower Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The rest of the pbr stuff looks so nice (except for whites and energy colours on the primed accessories). Why can't they just do that with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
