Orange thing

I simply wanted to render something orange. I made this simple shape just to give it an orange material. The metal cylinder on which it stands, has a bumpmap I made in photoshop. The strange thing is, that even though it's smoothed, the polys are visible at the right of the cylinder. Well, here it is. No postpro.

nice, however seeing as you have photoshop, please use "Save for web" on your renders in future... that image is massive and took over a minute to load here.

did you check for double verts?

There. Now I have rehosted it.

@Kram No, I don't think there are any since it's just a beveled cylinder.

directly from the primitive?
That's strange...

Oh, wait. Did you bevel each face (using the bevel-tool) or only those on the right angle at the top?

No, I used the "bevel center" script on the circular edgeloops.

ah, I see... ok, I ran out of ideas

The only thing I can think of is that it simply isn't round enough... - though then the whole thing should be affected and not only that part....

An idea: you can try to use the cast modifier with a vertex group on the non-bevelled, perfectly cylindrical part, to cylindrify the mesh

Perhaps, but right now the cylinder has 64 sides. I'm making a new one with 256.

I am now rendering it @ 2560 x 1440. Just like the first one only this one will (hopefully) look better

Here is the new version with 17h rendertime. There seems to be quite a ray trap inside and underneath the orange thing.

Very nice. The brush metal result is very good.

Yep it is. Is it used for bump only or for exponent also ?
