Any Tips on the Toa Nuva Armor Texture?

I did the best I could; I’m not really good at vectorizing, so I know it’s not the best, but I’m open to any suggestions for improving the Toa Nuva texture, and Pohatu won’t have his torso upside down.

Only one I can think of is maybe brightening the grey on the chest plate so it looks more silver than gunmetal. Right now it looks a bit dark compared to the pauldrons.

Or make the shoulder pauldrons gunmetal, that would look cool too.

Pohatu really should have his torso upside down

I’d wait until those masks you mentioned become available. Right now the Bionicle-proportioned masks on the minifig bodies comes off as jarring as those Bionicle pen masks did when used on Toa minifigs from years ago.

They will never be Available for Printing, They are Mask for 3D animations and where model With that in mind, so they are not compatible with A lot of 3D or Resing printing, Probably you would need to do a Retopology again.

I feel like the best route would be to make a custom armor piece that incorporates both the chestplate and shoulder armor

Continuing @ToaOfPlastic’s idea, you could use a piece like this armor piece but with different printing. Then, you could have the torso beneath with the Nuva armor printed on it as well, as with the Ganondorf minifigure.

No for this time, This are Models for 3D Animation, No 3D printing so Theres more envolve stuff, Like Clean Topology, Weightpaint for the Rig, and more, so No Costume Pieces for this Time

@Zhyndea That Could be Posible, Since i Have that Chest for Lhikan Metru and is already working for 3D Animation but Then The Toa Metru Wouldn have a New Upgrade to be “more Armored“

The design of Tahu Nuva is really looking awesome. Say is there a version of him as a Mistika?
