Arches!

My arches have been modelled and textured! The smaller one (at the back) is going to be cloned dozens of times to make a tunnel. I'm looking forward to setting this up and seeing how it looks! These tunnels were one of the most striking sights I saw in Japan when I vistited, so I'm excited to how my own version will come together.

These arches are usually highly varnished, so there's quite a light spec map on here combined with a high gloss setting. I've finally settled on this version but it might be subject to change if the design of the overall level ends up needing a "softer" feel. This is also a clean version - I considered dirtying these textures up (scratching some of the paint off the wood at points, muddying and weathering the posts going into the ground etc.) but I think I'm going to leave it for the moment until I see the level of realism other members of my team are going for with their work. These existing textures can always be dirtied up later :)
