Spaceship Rethought

After having searched through a bunch of arctic tiger stripes, it occurred to me that the texture of the spaceship will be symmetrical, which while seeming the correct pattern, could result in destroying the whole camouflage effect entirely. If this occurs, i will keep the arctic theme, and use painted metals instead, using shades of grays and blues mixed to try and keep to the original idea of camouflage. This also means that around the different heights of panels, weathering effects such as peeling paint and rust will become more noticeable.

Another idea i have come up with for my 3D environment is having slate on the floors. i had considered using limestone, as it has a similar appearance to slate, being naturally uneven where the rock has formed, however slate gives me more creativity to use within my environment, as it is naturally available in more erratic colours such as purple, green and cyan, whereas limestone is found more regularly in dark grays, yellows and browns. Slate, similar to granite will sometimes have highly noticeable veins of quartz running through it, which could be an addition to the texture for the floor of my environment. this would mean i would have to increase the specularity of some areas of the floor to reflect the fact there is a quartz vein there.
