Silver with faint scratches:

Bubbaloo, very nice silver...is that available?

[Bubbaloo]

Thanks! It's not available yet. Still working on it. I'm considering making a V2 mxm pack for sale. I know that's probably not what anyone wants to hear, but I've uploaded a few mxm's and various goodies in the past, and now with the economy, I need to make some extra money. So far, I've only got a few ready, but I'm working on them in my spare time.

True that! Though I guess it depends on use, the silver and white gold piece on my wrist is certainly more marked and scratched!!

That's interesting Bubba.. you and Teabag are both starting to sell your work now. I always thought architects earned a good living, maybe that has changed now.

I have only re-rendered my previous material on a new mesh, the patient head just for fun to test what it would look like and if it worked. Conclusion is that it's a pretty useless material, there is absolutely no situation i can see anyone even myself using this for anything.


I'm gonna render one with a even higher tile setting to see what it would look like..

Not so... To me it looks like a good start to a photovoltaic cell material.

I don't know why, but people always think if you're an architect, it automatically makes you Foster with a 7-digit income

BTW, nice spiderman-in-the-hospital, Max.

Max, I used to know an architect here , he was always broke...

[caryjames]

Hey Brian your silver is looking really good... my only comment would be to reduce the specular highlight/gloss that is overlaying the scratches. I think that if you had a material with that many fine scratches that it would not reflect that much light... or at least it would not reflect the emitter perfectly... it would leave a fuzzy edge to the reflection. Looking really really good though !!!
