The Misene Panel Trench

**ZETAX101**

I did notice a huge difference in that particular trench when I came back from my "vacation" if you will... I liked the original better...

Actually I don't think the Misene Panel Trench was made any shinier when Rarebit fiddled with other items. For some reason he just toned it down when he fixed other clothes that had been made over shiny.

At the time I remember quite a few people debating the new look, myself included.

I remember the Trench used to be common in RP outfits, now the only time you see it is the lvl 50 Brown Ballistic acc one in PvP.

There actually was an old thread within which someone had posted pictures of the change.. I think it may have been Ballak. I'm 100% certain the coat did change in the shiny transition. What I'm not 100% certain of is whether or not the current coat is different than the original appearance. I'm pretty sure it is, but I wouldn't say 100%.

I think they're fine, they still have a small shine to them. They were a little over shiny imo.

Edit:

I love the current low shine to it right now.

I hate the current low shine to it right now.

This will be our final battle.

Leather texture does not have a mirror finish. A game developer, texture artist's job in a semi-realism mimicing environment is to recognize how things look in Real Life and how to bring that into the game environment and emulate that as realisticaly as possible. So - that take a little bit of looking at real leather, fassion, and whatever is out there. A quick google and a stroll thru a leather coat store can give a texture artist all the information they need.

Leather's shineyness depends on how it is treated and polished. It is basicly cow or lamb skin, it once came from an animal. And really - no matter how well buffed/polished it is, it still NEVER gets a mirror reflective finish. I don't care how much Rarebit is hypnotized by shiney things - leather is NOT overly shiney.

See this image below, examples of leather:

It's already been established the coat isn't leather, please read the entire thread.

Then the question becomes... What is it made from?

How very droll. Ok so what material is it supposed to depict?

Imitation leather probably.

No. YOU! decided it was imitation leather. Just because it isn't called "Leather Jacket" does not mean it's not a leather jacket. As I said in reply to that statement due to the same logic, an FM700 is not a Desert Eagle because it isn't called a Desert Eagle.

**Pylat**

Ummm, yeah. That is pretty solid Logic I have their isn't it? If it's not named that specific item, chances are it isn't. The Misene Panel Trench looks like leather, but it isn't called leather so chances are it's Imitation Leather. The FM-700 looks like a Desert Eagle, but isn't called a Desert Eagle so chances are it's an imitation Desert Eagle.
