Cigarette case and chain tests

I have to say that from the previous post to this one, the cigarette case is looking quite epic. The clamp on the cigarette side it cool, if a little weird, and the one on the memorabilia side is functional, without hiding too much. I could put the crest on both halves of the case to save on texture space by making both halves identical…
I also included two really terrible pictures of the chain texture upgrade I’m trying to make, the color is too dark and wrong, the little weld spot is distracting and will be removed, but the shape is what I’m trying to go for.
So please, I’d like some opinion on the look of those chain links if you don’t mind, because I really want to be done with that update!

I like the larger chain just because of the more natural radius at the ends, rather than looking partially squared off. But particle chains never seem to look quite right because the links don’t alternate. One possible workaround are those links that have a quarter twist in them.
I’ve seen people use the quarter twists and while it make sense, it looks… well it looks like a little flying arrow when turned into a 2D particle.
The links I made could be longer, I did not realize initially that i did not match the original link length. And yeah the rounded ends look better, the old one was something I kinda free handed ages ago that simply, stuck.
