actually i noticed that a fly's body tends to have a blue tint as you move towards the edges and a yellow specular highlight - so the sampler info node was used to try to create that effect. i added a yellow tinted color map for the spec map, but i think i'm going to get rid of that as it doesn't seem to be working.Originally posted by AikoWorld
if i understand it correctly your samplerinfo is created for the edges of you geometry creating like a reversed occlusion, but instead of a static collor you can add an image to it
Or a more relevant file is a ramp.
Well i dont know if thats what you tried to create.
Cool shading network!

I'm not completely sure what's happening all over the place, but I think you could adjust the ramp a bit more so that instead of just overall being 2 values it fades between 3, which is more of what I see in the reference image - and that's created with an overall ramp for the color, and a tighter one for the spec

I cant wait to see the fruits of your labour, have you got any timescales for it or are you just going to keep going and see how it develops?

the renders are all mental ray, usually with a bit of final gather turned on. Not sure what you mean by 'some build method is specialities' thanks t1ck!
yeah - i'm hoping to get this finished up (fairly) soon. Problem is i need to be at work to do most of it. the whole point was to focus on textures and get it to look as close to where i work as possible. here's a chair that i've been modeling - i'm hoping to use a procedural to texture it, but i'm not sure how to do the zigzag pattern.
