I was playing around in the DTE and came up with this oxidizing, peeling, flaking paint/rust texture, so I had to put it on a car. Then I had to put the car in a scene and render. So here it is...there is a higher res version in my gallery. Hope you enjoy it. Tjohn

OOh looks like my old cortina used to, before it finally fell apart in a shower of rust.

The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."

A technical note: I liked the texture so much I tweaked it for the chrome, and even the upholstry and interior is the same texture, with the colors changed so that the rust looks like stuffing coming out of rotten old worn and ripped leatherette. (Can you tell I had fun making this?) :^)

Usually if a car rusts that bad, theres bound to be pieces of it on the floor and a couple of holes here and there. Also if the mesh allows - move some trim pieces and the bumper a little bit off kilter for that "real beater" look... Now all you need to do is add a couple o' boxes of 160, 240, 400, and 600 grit sandpaper, a couple of tubs of that bondo stuff, a whole lot of spray paint cans, and a respirator. And perhaps a book. Something like "Vehicle restoration for dummies." LOL... And have a nice pic of the car on the wall with a big post-it note saying "This is my goal". :)
