Not much happening here lately, but I thought I'd go ahead and note that it fixed my problem. I was getting some kinda weird Tron-looking black and neon textures on both of these stations. Whatever was causing it, I loaded this after that. Now, not only is it no longer broken, but it looks better.
I think adding the "pox disease" to the rune indentions and the engraved parts on the alchemy lab along with the bowl parts with them.. it will look a lot better. the alchemy lab i think it would look better to be a marble type of polish to it and the enchanter to have a wooden look to the top.
i mean you draw in black ink the lines that criss cross while the runes are engraved, carved or scraped out in the table (seems more like this type of style would work well for enchanting lab)
Alchemy lab, think of it as a lab where you put the potions in each bowl on the sides and they slowly go and meet up in the middle with your end result potion in the middle... which would mean it was marble rather than metal... and the thing should have a little stress in the "pox disease" form because you also mix poisons too right? some of them has bound to be so strong it almost melts the table after constant making of it...
smithing in my opinion should be the only thing using metal textures in terms of "labs"
polished texture would be better suited for the cooking cauldron but it seems the texture for it has no real problems to improve..
hope this is enough information to help you correct the visual aspect of these two, would love to see an improved version.
The texture is a bit overdone. Looks like the labs have some sort of pox disease. I do like where its going, but possibly slightly more wood/stone textures look instead would look better to me.
No offence as your heart is in the right place but these are way too noisy and over sharpened. As previously suggested I'd go for a natural stone or fine quality wood.
"I like the marble texture idea or some granite, something cool like that from high-res stock images. If someone can point me toward a good install/re-texture tutorial, I am exceptionally good with Photoshop and could take my own photos since I'm a photographer. I would start from scratch with an engraved look in blackish marble or something like that... "
This for the enchanter. I'll follow it if you're able to d something like that.
