Problem: Look at images 3 and 4. The noice on the shader is aufful... Any one know what has caused this??
Another cuestion, As you might have noticed the mini has wings. Well I also want it to fly. For it to be realistic i want to make a smoke trail following the mini. What is the best technique to do this? Can i make a curve and generate smoke particles or something like that?

And if anyone has any tips for making realistic metal shaders dont hasitate to give them :)).

Thanks, Raz

i do not what caused the texture thing, but GREAT WORK DUDE, Keep it up :beer:

Thanks man.

what kind of shadows are you using? if they're depth map then there's the possibility that your image is self-shadowing. you could try enabling mid dist focus in the depth map shadow area of the attribute editor for your light.
