Quote - The movie set has wet stone, puddled stone, wet wood, damp wood. The camera equipment black material is kind of unique - a bumpy black anodized (I think) metal. There's a pretty nice copper and brass on the lamps - using some of the techniques in my newest metal set, but not all. If you were of a mind to put 255, 215, 150 in there it would also make a great gold. Accurate chrome. Perfect thin glass in the lamp glass. The camera leather is new - not the same as the free BBLeather. The rubbery material for the power cords is new, and the rubber on the camera eye cup is really good - totally over the top work for such a small part. The paint on the poles is interesting. Glowing cloth on the diffuse lamps is interesting. There's no light bulb in there, but I made it look like there was. That set was hours and hours and hours of work.

On the car, the car paints are improved over anything I gave before, especially the candy apple red. (Although it is not the perfect one I have in the queue) The tricks I did with the headlamp glass are useful, to make lit versions as well as remove extraneous colors that were in the photo of the headlamp texture. It also has the thin glass shader.

The furniture has the new stained wood I mentioned earlier, which is incredibly useful. The colors were carefully chosen which takes hours of test rendering under many light conditions. You could make them yourself, but it's a lot of experimenting. That's why I'm making so many presets for the set. Chrome, brass, pewter, antique (aged) brass, and iron are important materials in that set. An accurate mirror material (no mirrors do not reflect 100%).

 

Thanks. Sounds like I'm off to put the car in my cart as well, awaiting the day I have money for them all. ;)
