Hello there!

Its been a long time, but im really happy to see this idea back on review :) 

The staff does look better, i like the new banana holder.

However, the material maps still seem to be overlapping, i can not Approve the creation while it has such overlaps.

You can check that yourself if you use Lint and Export button in Troxel - open your model, find Trove Creations on the right navigation bar, select the type of your mode (staff) and click that button. If everything is good it will say - All Tests Passed! But it will keep nagging about the material maps if there are issues.

I might have mentioned it before, the guide on Wiki is incorrect, it suggests to use glowing and specular on same voxels, but the game engine does not render Glowing Metal or Transparent Iridescent blocks. If some voxel is glowing - it can only be Rough on Specular and so on.

Im going to try it with an image again. If the image is too small - right click on it and use Open image in a new Tab :

Here are 3 variations of material maps.
Most left one is the current design - you can see voxels on the pommel, around the handle, on the banana holder and on banana itself are circled in on different material maps. You have same voxels Glowing on Type (_t) map, and Iridescent, Water and Waxy on the Specular (_s) map. This is not good, the game does not render Glowing Water and others, you have to pick one kind.

On the middle and most right images you can see material map setups that would work - the middle image has all those voxels as default on Type, so they can keep the Specular. The most right image keeps the Glowing, but because of that all those voxels were turned Rough (default) on Specular.

Any combination between those two images would work too as long as mapping on Type (and Alpha) does not compete mapping on the Specular for the same voxels.
You can have glowing and iridescent voxels on the model, but they can not be the same exact blocks!



Please make sure your material maps are alright before sending this back to Review. Troxel check up is free and quick and easy, and that is something you can do yourself without having to wait for a creation to get reviewed :)

Good luck!
