I think that i might have made two threads.

It would have been niced to see your progress. We would also liked to see an image of the real item that "you" are creating.

Looks very nice by the way so far!!




But please post more picks of progress.



Looking forward to seeing the final image.

Heres what it started as today

More Pics

Definitley need to keep your images below 640x480.


Interesting idea. Its going to be hard to re-create the dirt and dust on the real thing.

GOOD LUCK

I have been trying and trying and trying to work out how to do the dust but i just can't get it to look right :headbang: Any suggestions would be very welcome

cool...the real one has dust on it...I saw a tutorial somewhere that shows how to add a thin layer of dust...Ill let u know if I find it

hmmm, i hadnt even read your previoius post when writing that, strange...Ill try and find it for you for sure

hey, I remebered the tutorial i saw was in a video made by Alias....advanced shading networks. But I found a site that had a dust shader...it had a few other cool shaders.
I hope this helps:
