Impressive skin.

Peace of shit

bad legendary weapon

Wow this is freaking beautiful

This is incredibly creative.

@Rex&Kyano: A small addition: The reason why I used that many stickers + patterns is this: https://img2.picload.org/image/daalolow/compare.png
for the slide I used the method from “The Colonel” (pattern only) … simple and plain engravings. For the receiver otherwise I used stickers+patterns …et voila not so plain engravings anymore.

@Rex&Kyano: Mhh you are both right … i know the skin size is probably too big (and yes I created the skin with the resolution 4096x4096 but I downscaled all of the stickers and patterns to 1024x1024. But I have 20 patterns and 17 stickers. Maybe that’s too much and I have to delete some of them or make some patterns 512x512 (if that’s possible without creating visual artifacts)

Also @Kyano, be reminded workshop creators are asked to disable all compression on their workshop files, I suspect his are 4k uncompressed to produce this filesize.

As Kyano said, if your texture is over 1024x1024 its very likely going to get downscaled to 1024 or below.
most engraving skins usually get a bit of leeway and end up with a slightly higher quality to preserve details but only on important parts.

Awesome looking skin but you do realize the size is like 150mb. That is definitely too big. They would have to compress the fuck out of it and it would make the skin look so much worse. Its really upsetting cause the skin looks so great

@Rex: And a “thank you” for you too mate :). Glad to hear. Tbh the name “Day & Night” isn´t quite creative ;) … “Moonshine” on the other hand sounds more special but I think the sun would disagree :D. Maybe I take “moonshine” as a starting point for a better fitting or special name.
@Mr. Green: Yo thanks mate! Tried out different blues (plus metallic/silver and gold gradients) but maybe i`ll check it out again. But sometimes different parts of the models are darker/ brighter so the gradient differs in its tone without my intention.

Looks even better.

Dont know why but looking at it makes me think it should be called "Moonshine"

Amazing, I love it! I'd make the blue darker though, but that's just my opinion. Keep it up!

Damn any Sig Sauer fan would orgasm if they got this in real life. I wanna pontificate though about Payday 2's retarded customization system. You can attach things to AKs and Pistols that make genuinely no sense. Some pistols don't even have barrels extended or threading and yet you can attach silencers or how picatini rail attachments you can place them on a Dovetail mount system...

Sexy gun 100%

it makes the gun look more like an M1911... i like it.

I really adore this skin and I definitely want it in the game, but I really honestly dont want it as a Legendary. I'd love to see more people being able to use this skin because of how nice it really is.

@ AJValentine: Thank you AJ! Much appreciated! But I´ll guess without you, Rex and Sushy showing us the way how to extract the UV Maps I would still looking on my grid pattern and try to find the right spots :). So thank you.
@猹打不过闰土: Thank you very much!
@ Rex: Thanks Rex for your suggestion. But I think I´ll try it with the discussions section. So I don’t spam the workshop and the screenshot section :).
@ SleepingGood: Thought it look cool :(
@ Alex Haegele: Thank you very much! Well, it shouldn´t be a problem to make a skin for the M9 Beretta like the Samurai Edge from RE. Since it would be mostly done via the base gradient and maybe with blank pattern for a pattern gradient you could get a pretty decent looking skin. Did you try out the workshop editor yourself? I really encourage you to make your idea come true. If you got question, I would help. Oh and one more thing: I recommend not to make a direct copy of the stickers like S.T.A.R.S. etc because of copyright.

This is some really talented work! Makes me want to use the Sig more often!

pretty

Imo change it back and make another upload with different colors, the community can choose what looks better, the blue looks nice tho, fits the night sky style

Blue? Why?

Also you have some kickass skins, keep on keeping on.

Is it Possible for you to make the Samurai Edge from Resident evil as a skin for the M9?

@soulCoco: Thanks mate. I´ll keep that in mind but first I’ve to finish this one here :)
@Lammah: Thank you. Tbh I wasn´t quite happy with the engravings on The colonel. But I couldn´t do better when I made the skin. But now I´ve used a sticker in combination with a pattern. Back then I used only a pattern. But I´m still trying to make it look more realistic.
@Lex {GER}: Danke. Ich arbeite dran.
@BonBon: Thanks for your input. The name is not final by now. Maybe I change it to “Firmament” or since it is a german made gun to “Himmelszelt” (german word for firmament). As you can see in the first five (new) pictures I changed some things regarding the greyish color (that´s what you and Rex mentioned). And I also changed the color of the moon and the stars.
@Rex: Oh, ok then I got it wrong :)

nice work brother.. engraving skill.. brother, try for car 4 since it lacks of skin..

very nice detailing, reminds me of the Colonel.

Locks not bad.

I wouldnt say its night and day, the skin is moody and a lot of grey is in there and tho i understand the gold is supposed to represent the sun, the engraved moon on the silencer is also gold and the sun isnt featured directly
But a really good skin

Last part of my comment about engravings was a good thing, I did the x_x face because I suck at engraving patterns xD

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me Rex. Very enlightning in many ways. About the color scheme: I’ve chosen silver, gold and brown because I was/ am aiming for a realistic looking skin. But since there are still slides, receivers and grips left I could use some other colors (which of course have to fit the engraving style; maybe gold and white ;)). And this skin wasn’t made in this style only to increase the chance to get a legendary spot. If every golden or engraved weapon skin becomes a legendary then guess what happens.
Tbh I don’t get the last part of your comment. Or maybe I do if I replace the s with a t.

Very detailed, but because of a lack of unique colors you end up with a lot of greys and brown, I sadly dont see this being legendary, still almost certain its gonna get picked, soo much engraving going on there x_x
