To begin with, Someone sticky this.
Ok, Most players having been getting on me about this, because I said I would get it done, and I haven't. So here it is.
First off, You'll need an outline of the Weapon/Item you want to make for Zone.
As you can see, I choose the outline of the Shotgun I made.
--------------
Now, Your going to need to pick/choose your colors. Now, remember, Zone is a dark server. So Im going to use a Dark Grey color, for my Weapon.
After you've choosen the colors you want to work with, Fill the outline in with it.
--------------
Ok, So your probly asking, "Then what?".
Now you need to add shades to the weapon/item. (I always start with the Lighter colors first, But you can go with the darker ones if you want to.)
Now, think of the weapon/item your making. Ask yourself "What parts of the weapon stick out, And what part of the weapon/item are blocked by the light". (use the example for help if your confused. lol.)
(I zoomed in a bit, because you shouldn't go from dark to light really quick.)
--------------
Alright, Now that you've got all of the Lighting figured out, we need to go brighter. (See example)
(notice how I don't completly take out the lighter shade before that)
--------------
Ok, Now we have to repeat that same step over and over, Until it's been full. (see examples)
