- Finally completed this asset, came out alright. This should be out tomorrow-ish or in 2 days at most. I'll also get the other items ingame and ready and I'll start on the hair next :)

- I mentioned this would have a more basic, simple texture in the previous post to get it out faster. That's not entirely true right now, I got carried away a bit as I was working on it :P. Still doesn't have the level of detail I'd have liked to put in, but it's up there.

- Speaking of textures, this is using 8k textures. That is stupid and very much overkill especially for a single object like this, for a game at least. However, I did have a justified reason for using this resolution (not really lol) which is: the jacket is double-sided. Since this sits quite separately from the body the inside can be seen easily and I wanted to have a different look there.

- I usually texture at 4k or 2k-1k for smaller objects, but those are usually single-sided objects. To maintain the same texel density in the texture that I'd usually have, considering I had more surface area, I jumped to 8k. Now, I never actually made or used an 8k texture and probably won't for the foreseeable future, but now that I did, I have to say, that sharpness is quite amazing. Heck, I even managed to get the very small memory cracks/creases that happen under the large folds at the proper scale without any sort of blurriness. It's still stupid and a complete waste of time/resources.... but it looks cool :P
