Quote - Superboom spotted it already, but maybe others like to see this progressing too?

All mechanical parts are complete now, so I've started to work on the exterior details.

Getting the engraving neatly on the dome-shaped surface is a nice challenge : )

Don't want to do it with displacement tricks, but I'll have to see how far I can get with real geometry.

So far no texture maps or anything, no smoothing either, just bare (high rez) .obj's and Reality shaders/materials with IBL.

 

 

Cheers!

Etching geometry? Aren't you a dedicated lad! I rather like displacement tricks

Somewhere on Lux's gallery page, they used microdisplacement for their Luxrender radio knob. I thought it looked believable.
