The only thing that I can think of would be a slightly lighter render so that more detail can be seen. I do have to agree with everyone else, that leather tex is outstanding. And the mesh on the front of the bottom binder is spot on. After that, its the same as with the Excacto knives, dirty them up a little bit. In this case, (I think you may have done it already) the edges of the leather should be scuffed up a little. Even a brand new one from the store has been knocked around a little bit, and we all know that that stuff ain't real leather and it can't stand up to even that little bit of abuse. ;^) If you can, here's a real challenge! Things like that usually have a couple of spots where the weave of the fabric has loosened up, or a couple of threads have torn. Something like that would require a little more modeling (I think), but it would be well worth the effort. All right, enough outta' me! I gotta' go to bed. That binder is outstanding, BTW. Great modeling, unparalelled texture work. A couple of tweaks and we'll be accusing you of posting photos and passing them off as Bryce. Great job, can't wait for this whole project to be finished so I can drool over the result. Mike
