Coming along very nicely, at least someone can compete with Vim's pinball machine.

I'd better read up on using displacement maps as they are working realy well with your model user added image

dont rule out R4s1n's entry on the simplylightwave site joe, that could compete too user added image

Thanks tick135. I took this model as an opportunity to reinforce what I just learned with the last comp. Alot of these disp maps I made in photoshop.. a few in zbrush.

Here is my latest update. I worked on all the textures and modeled a few new things. I'm using final gather only right now and experimenting with object lighting.. Eventually I want to add global illumination and make this an interior scene. This took about 20min to render.

Awsome wire work! How about a wireframe on shaded "untextured" if it's not a problem?

Np THX1138 and T1ck... user added image

This was rendered in Mental Ray using a HDRI, Global Illumination, and Final Gather. No maya lights are used.

I am trying to find the best way to render this for realism. I still need to model and uv map a few things. I am doing renders along the way.

Well I'm not sure where to point you but I've been experimenting with some stuff off these sites..

useful software:

https://gl.ict.usc.edu/HDRShop/

Some light probes and a lot of links to check out:

https://www.debevec.org/Probes/

There are not a whole lot of .hdr images readily available, as far as I can tell. You might search on .hdr and hdri images.. worldwide.. and on japanese search engines.. I always find interesting texture maps and stuff on japanese sites. With HDRshop you can make your own .hdr's I'm still learning it.. looks like it has alot of features.. Its also useful for converting weird formated hdri images into angular maps etc..
