Re: pic: Upcoming CAD Teaser

Just FYI: I made my own purple candy paint texture, but I suggest using the "car paint" textures to come out with nice stuff like this. I also turn up the shininess of some of my parts, such as my wheels.

If you want, shoot me an email and I can give you the material data files that I use. I also turn up anti-aliasing, reflections, and a few other effects, as well as the contours to produce nice renders like this.

remember, in real life, there are no perfectly square edges, and most extrusions actually have a 1/32 fillet on their corners! those details make a difference in the renders. I turn the contours on to make my CAD more understandable.
