Chain Armor
Armor is perhaps one of the hardest things to make look right as it is usually highly detailed. The following are some simple suggestions for making good armour effects.
Simple chain
The quick way to make good chain armour is to make uniform dots in neat rows or patterns because chainmail is orderly and not haphazard you really need to focus on a nice uniform pattern.
Advanced chain
The more advanced way is similar to the simple way but as you add each layer of 'links' alternate pushing the links below slightly, one row to the right, the next to the left. This will create a zig-zag or ‘s’ pattern that more closely resembles linked chain.
