The wire is embedded in the glass? Looks cool!

Maybe do a person sticking their face against the glass :)

Thanks! This is old-style safety glass. Newer ones just use a simple square grid of wire - not nearly as intersting as the chicken wire style I remember from my childhood. and yes, the wire is 'embeded' in the glass.

For a long time I've thought about putting a hand or fingers against glass, but I need to work on a new texture for the skin - to make it lighter where is presses against the glass like it does in the real world. Maybe a future project...

That's pretty impressive Michael.

A reference shot I found pretty easily.

Is that man behind the glass an object or a photo mapped on a plane?

Thanks guys! You've got some good eyes there Ivox! Different face morphs, but the same skin texture.

I just now received my furniture and household goods shippment from my old post in Colombia. Damn packers stole three of my computers, and a big box of new computer parts before everything got crated up! ARRRRRGGGG! :x
