Commented on Mimic Magic-Stick Staff creation

Hello again!

Sorry for the delay.

Looking good! Sword looks much more convincing than iron stick :) Glad you kept wooden colors on the chest too.

Wanted to ask you to add tiny bit of shading to the model, but it seems like you already used Noise automated coloring? To the eye it looks like your model has 5-6 different colors on it, while actually there are over 150 different colors on it.

This is something i am not allowed to approve, sorry. Each separated voxel color is rendered as separated 'group', more groups there are > longer it takes to render something. On the scale of one staff equipped on one person it might not be an issue, with more people wearing it in the same place it could get bad.

Could you please redo the coloring? Should be relatively easy, model is not all too big.

Once that is done, i think it would be great to add some hand-painted shading on the chest. May be some a hint for wooden planks? Also i think the eyes could really pop up if they were a bit more Trovian - bigger and square.

I tried some things out and came up with following edit, based on your model and suggestions above. It also has a bit longer sword but shorter tongue. I tried to separate gold on sword from gold on mimic, but im not convinced that worked out in the best possible way.

Edit: There ended up being this many colors used, but since they differ more from each other it looks like there are more used.

Going to change status to Active, please fix the colors >_< Hoping to see it back on review soon!
