Shaded TGW Cockpit (Default Cup)

[Roaddog]

Not much of a project in terms of scope, but it's something I've dabbled in lately.
I've been trying to add realistic shading and lighting to my edited TGW cockpit, using Blender and Photoshop 2023.

I tried to keep the cockpit itself shrouded in shadows, with metal components such as gauges and switches receiving the most light.
Gauge shadows (based off of pics taken from iR 2008) were done with Blender.

The shadows look great! Plus, I like the idea of trying to make the metal parts of the cockpit shine more (like a real metal material would). Keep it up.

Also – I notice that you use new higher quality textures in the rest of your cockpit. e.g. the Simpson window banner, the Wildcat netting, and so on. Are these textures that can be copied and pasted into other cockpit mods? If so, anything we need to keep in mind to avoid graphical glitches?
