Since radiance posted his tutorial I've been having great fun modelling in blender and rendering in indigo. Great fun. And yesterday, I modelled a football. An old fashioned, leather style, English football. It made me need to make a leather bump map :D

Blender + Indigo = GREAT :D

A tutorial!? God forbid. I modelled this all by myself. And to top it off, by accident. I subsurfed an icosphere two levels and applied the subsurf, and then I noticed a pattern of hexagons and pentagons in the mesh. The bump map is from a photograph of a colleagues leather handbag :D

Do you have a link to the tutorial?

though it's in Chinese it should be easy to follow.
