texturing on the pylon is nearly finished... the color variations are a bit too subtile (each panel has a slightly different color actually), so i gotta adjust that a bit...

also i experimented a bit with anisotropy... doesn't look good on the render, because i only used the spec map for this, but i like the general effect of this feature, so i guess i'll also create anisotropy maps for each texture...

ok, created some simple but effective anisotropy maps... got two slightly different setups, but can't decide, which one looks better... so what do you think?

Too subtle for me, the pictures look identicle

Impressive progress.
It all depends on the look you´re going for. The first one looks like it´s been kept in good shape while the second one looks quite worn.

I can't tell a difference, they're both nice

I say the second one, if not just because it needs to be doing something, however if you can I reccomend doing a turntable test, to see how it is performing at different angles.

Oh and By the way, wonderful work so far. Just a shame Max's rendering engine lacks some features I would recommend you do with this model. Keep up the good work!

thank y'all!

i guess the turntable test is a good idea, gonna start rendering immediately

now i'm curious! i still plan to test some other packages one day (maya and lw to be precise... already tested both for a short time, but didn't come to a decision if i should switch...), so go ahead, it may be useful one day

The second one seems more.... metallic? The first one strikes me as a little plastic. Too smooth.

I like the second pic (21-04) better as it isn't as shinny.
