>>7621962>And that achieves the look just fine.I wont disagree, but something that's painted does look better.
>Why would paint the whole thing and risk more QC issues when you can mold the price in the correct color plastic, then shade it accordingly? Because the color will be much more accurate and holds up to wear better too.
A clear matte spray can only do so much and will wear away pretty easily compared to paint.
I should add, that for realistic stuff, a painted face looks more real. Same with metals, and clothes, and... pretty much everything. I think only bare metal mechanical stuff looks a little weird when it's painted.
i honestly prefer painted stuff over just colored plastic and it's a shame companies have been cutting their budgets to include less.
Have you enver given this any thought? Just think about it. How many prototypes look amazing vs their mass produced colored plastic counterpart? Shit like this were the colors are all exactly where they should be, they still look inferior.
PS, prototypes are almost never completely smooth either. If you've ever been to conventions/trade shows, painted prototypes usually have texture larger than you see in this thread.
>The best one of that is a fucking Chinese Third Party company.Again, i won't disagree, but who counts them anyway?
McFarlane did it better than the Figma though.
