Gloss effect test

Description
Testing out a metal reflextion effect.
Just like I did with my Luger skins I'm trying to mimmic bump mapping by using different types o shadders. I'ts very hard and involves alot of trial and error but at least I think I've made it look metalic enough.
Wow finally a gloss effect in that game that looks great!
Most gloss mods in MOHAA look bad because it's evenly applied in all of the texture, making it look like a mirror instead of metal.
Here the metal has different stains that either glow more or less when the reflection passes over them. Also it reflects more on the parts that are more worn and less where it has rust or is a more hidden part.
Also the metal has a blue tone to it, so I also applied a blue tone to the reflection and an orange tone for the wood reflection. Appliying a simple white reflection effect also contributed to other gloss mods not looking great.
If you use the correct shader effects and apply the reflection in the correct places of the texture you could make an optical illusion that the texture is using bump-mapping.
The quality of the this video is not enough to show it properly but you can see it more in the little screw that is to the left side of the bolt assembly and in the wood.
