So despite the abundance of shaders, the variety of armor customization is severely lacking.
Predator face masks are a good example of the customization system done well enough. You can choose the mask, the material and the type of paint and color (although I do find the warpaint color palette to be very very small).
But then the armors. Why are the paint schemes tied to the armor material more or less.
I feel that it would be a good means of improving customization, if the armor paints were their own separate customization. Similar the warpaints to the masks and with the ability to change the color of that scheme.
I realize that not all the armor shaders are flexible enough to allow this, but perhaps future armors (like the alleged upcoming master armor variant) might allow us greater customization.
Just a thought.
