Son of Salt & Pepper

Using Big Frank's raytraced version of Jen's Salt and Pepper Shaker design, I recreated a simplified vector version.

I think it's cleaner, but then I'm a might predudiced.

Hi Gary,

I like your rendering. I tend to ignore reflection and see colour, highlight, and shadow. Only if someone brings it to my attention do I see the objects being reflected in shiny surfaces. So your image is more like how I see the world around me. Maybe that's why I've always had trouble making anything look like shiny things [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Very attractive Gary! The Bolton-esque working technique has me daydreaming...

The perfect studio: Wouldn't it be great to have someone like Big Frank or Wayne K (or both?)standing by to slap together a quick 3d study model at a moment's notice. A professional photog on call would be nice too. It would also be nice to have a personal chef, a driver and one of these!

Regards, Ross

Looks great.
Goes to show that there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Or at least, texture map a cat :-)

Gary,

The “rendering� you made in the tread about polished brass disks had some very sharply defined brown edges in them. I remember how striking that image was and how well it conveyed the shininess of the turned metal by reflecting and picking up the tones of the disk and its surroundings.

This latest effort takes that to new heights for me!

This image was done in trueSpace. I was going to do it in Xara, but am short of time and my point is that this was simple to achieve in trueSpace. I don't want to labour this 3D thing, but WayneK is right: there are more ways to skin a cat and people shouldn't shut their eyes to other apps if they provide solutions to specific requirements.

And of top of that, it looks the nuts! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

please no plastic Frank!

I ** HATE ** plastic. It makes everything so cheap, kills the value. The world is spoiled by plastic waste.

But the texture looks great.
