thanks RFreise and 59burst... I must admit I did not spend much time on the rat, I simply had the eyes set to glass, the teeth to glossy, and the body set to a dark velvet... I could have looked at fur textures, but as it was I got side tracked by the books! Its a fair comment tho... I also think that the modelling of the rat looked a bit cartoonish, certainly a bit strange for a real rat with the size of the teeth and the feet! `¬) - maybe a bit of further playing I may have come up with something... perhaps I'll look at adding a rat to my next scene? ;)
