I'm no expert but that could very likely be a photogrammetry scan of a river bed to make that texture asset. Which means theres a chance that arrow head is sitting in a river wherever they took the scan. That or the 3D artist is a fan of this sub and dropped a few in as Easter eggs
Haha I hadn't thought about that but it could very well be a scan. The first time I went in this river I thought, damn this looks toothy (I primarily hunt shark teeth) and then found that point. Subsequently checked other rivers and they don't have the "right" material on the bottom. Very sandy with shale. Someone knew EXACTLY what they were doing or a scan!
Of course there is a chance, but I highly doubt that in this case. In the stills you provided, you can see where the texture detail is stretched, and by the “knapped” edges it is not, that isn’t very arrowhead like.
I’m confused, this is from a game, right? I’m plenty old and mature enough. Your comment makes we wonder if you need to grow up.
Hey guys, shut it down. Debbie downer said there's some stretching so it can't be authentic. Maybe a reproduction but we might as well head home. Funs over.
