Very nice work! Tested it out looks very good, was wondering would you know how to get the texture for the splash deflector to be uniform? I seem to be getting some black parts?

I think this is happening because of the AO (Ambient Occlusion) map

One could just paint the AO map in a paint program and not Re-UV things.

Ah gotcha, I think I got myself confused with something else, as I did do some painting on the main texture map in GIMP, that would have been the ao then. Right then it’s just a matter of painting the right thing.

Export the 3D mesh and AO image, open in any 3D program and check the UV map compared to the AO image. Then just do a touch up on the image itself. Then reimport the image. 5 minute job at most.

Sadly wasn’t able to upload the texture map for the mod, might be too big?

However! I may have found a solution, I changed the texture map from the main one, to one just for the splash deflector, it seems to be working, no black spots at all.

I think I got it! Thank you so much again, here is the version I worked on based on your model
