using brushes!

yeah, I tried it for the first time and I take the model in the tutorials of phong.com...

original one http://www.phong.com/tutorials/metal/metaltest2.jpg

mine http://sofdl.homestead.com/files/BxGrapic2.jpg

what you think about it?

good. looks a tad pixely at the top but it's good.

Kindof dark for metal, I would have just made it a little shinnier... but it still looks alright, nice work... for a tutorial anyways :p

It's pretty good.

Although, isn't that basically a rip of Phong? I mean, you took their little logo... and made it yours?

I see it as a rip...sorry.

Jester, maybe you've not visited Phong before, but he followed phong's tutorial - http://www.phong.com/tutorials/metal/

It looks good for following the tutorial, but i will go with what was said earlier, it should be a little more shiny. And shaded a little bit. But other than that good work man.

liked it.. but you could have blurred the top a bit.. so the white line dont seem so "paint" :D

looks good, but it doesn't seem real

Alright thx for the comments, I'll work on it a bit more to make it more real. Bluring the top isn't a bad idea at all, thx there too!
