Anyone know how long Luxology has been rocking this material shape ? I was just curious if it appeared before or after this post: http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/view ... e+coatings

Not that I own the shape or anything, ..just curious. Pretty cool actually..

The Modo material is the checkerboard, ... came from the Vertex Monkey ( http://www.vertexmonkey.com/presets_metal.php )



Mine from April ...

Well, .. according to this page, ... everything predates mine.

I honestly never seen the object before .... I have to resign myself to it being an uncanny coincidence.

Correction: the revised version seems to have been done recently, ..but the previous version looks similar, ...yet !!! the material previews have a different object altogether. ????

I need Colombo...... lol.....

I believe this is the original object: à lá Thomas An.

....... I don't know, ... I just know that I never saw it before and that nobody reminded me of the similarity. ....that is all ! hehe .

I may be completely off .....

I think the ones from VertexMonkey are quite a bit older than yours

[ivox3]

I think your right Adrian ...... I was just more curious if the original object was similar , but later adjusted to be exactly the same .....

......can you remember ?

Ivox, I remember the one you did and I loved the reflected enviornment - it's an HDRI right?

no doubt Scott ...

btw: I concede to the point that I was 2nd. ....lol. ..which sucks, ..but so it goes.
