I wasn't really planning on releasing this. Was done for my own satisfaction, kinda like the chrome colt. This is my take on the German entreching tool. Infantry in combat use this thing most than anything else and it is constantly dirty, and gets beat up and worn quickly.





includes w_model skin

Not my cup o' coffee.
Mainly the overdone metal and wood grain/lighting.
But hey, thanks for the release.

it's a picture. Of a real metal shovel with real dirt on it. Now if you want to say they over did the picture LOL. And the wood is the default dod wood.

You forgot to mention you edited it.
Well in this case, default looked better.
Sharpen filter = brought out the grain
Contrast = brought out the subtle lighting(s)

Honestly I figured a realistic (yes I used that word) looking shovel that had dirt all over it wouldn't be very popular, that's why I wasn't gonna release it, but someone asked so there you have it. I just made it look like all the entrenching tools I've ever used out in the field - the shovel end dirty, the handle end, where your hands rub, clean. Sometimes realistic isn't always better I will agree ;) , like waiting to respawn in Counter Strike hehehe.....

And yes technically I did at the last minute darken the entire skin -20 in photoshop because the shovel head looked to bright in-game, but I basically left the wood alone because the default is good. I thought he was under the impression I had made the wood from scratch an I didn't want anyone to think I was trying to call something my own work for just adding -20 darkness to it .

I like it as it is, but a Bullet hole would be great, if possible?
