Those are cooool! How many months did they take to render?

.. you know it was still winter when i did these.. - heating was urgently needed

so when the machines were unemployed, i gave them this to chew on..
most overnight, the B&W one ~30h; all on 4 quads.

true, true... i am actually more worried about summertime, too.... we will evaporate in front of our computer screens.
I think we had 38°C on one day with the real sun last summer, so add another 10°C for the virtual one.

- has one advantage though, we'll feel chilled as soon as we step outside.

[JCAddy]

Wow you could really make a nice city street using that one material. Lots of options there. So nice !

[KurtS]

thanks, Fernando and JC!

here is a material I just made for the MXM gallery... I just need a suitable name for it:

Looks like BBQ glazed brains to me.
Which I mean as a compliment.
Add it to the "Food" section.
I am sure no end of people will find it useful.

[deadalvs]

yeah... call it «Hannibal's favourite»

[JCAddy]

I'd call it the runs.

[KurtS]

You guys really have some SICK ideas....

Anyway - here is a test-rendering to show how useful the material is:

[glypticmax]

Yum!
Call it "Meatballs".
