You even got the ribs on the wires perfect.

Awesome.

I thought that was a normal smoothing problem, lol :)

Thanks for your comments,

@zsouthboy
The ribs on the wire is a modeling problem, I just decide to let them so, because some imperfections gives more realism :lol:

@OnoSendai
Perhaps there is here a normal problem, but not on the wire, on the aluminium material.
I used here the sand blassed texture for the aluminium, but I never get the expected result.
I played with all parameter, nothing worked as expected.
After 1 or 2 hours the result looks good (for the aluminium) but after 1 day the interesting effect is gone :(
Perhaps Indigo just smooth too much in this case?
Noise should still be there in the aluminium material.
I am still investigating this point with other parameters, and so on :?

Thanks to all,

regards, Phil

Sorry, I excuse myself!

@OnoSendai
I forgott to copy the picture in the working directory :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

This was only a work in progress!
The next render will be much much better :D

:shock: It's a photo right?

That's a super-nice material for the metal, is it a bumpmap?

awesomeness :D

Hi,

yes the material is a bump map, here is the code for information:

Code: Select all

<material>
		<name>Alu_bumped</name>
		<phong>
			<nk_data>nkdata/Al.nk</nk_data>
			<exponent>900</exponent>
			<bump_map>
				<uv_set>uv</uv_set>
				<path>noisemi8.jpg</path>
				<gain>0.002</gain>
				<exponent>1.0</exponent>
			</bump_map>
		</phong>
	</material>

	<material>
		<name>alu_bumped.2</name>
		<phong>
			<nk_data>nkdata/Al.nk</nk_data>
			<exponent>700</exponent>
			<bump_map>
				<uv_set>uv</uv_set>
				<path>noisemi8.jpg</path>
				<gain>0.003</gain>
				<exponent>1.0</exponent>
			</bump_map>
		</phong>
	</material>
