I like the Turquoise. The bronze looks kinda plastic.

Hmm yeah it does. There are going to be two more in about 12 hours lol. Copper and Silver. Thanks for the comment.

Nice perspectuves, I think I would drop the ambience on the background though, it makes it look just a tad flat, and on the statue change the color range, use a dirty looking greenish gold, somewhat dull, but let the reflection and specular still come through. I hope that makes sense LOL!! Great work overall though!

Do atleast one thing a day that scares the hell outta ya!!

Thanks Clay. There there is no ambience (transparent with 300 lights and the sun for some GL) on the background but I get what you mean. A greenish gold I will have to work on that one.

the first one is better, according to me

I'd like the second one better if it were more of a matte finish, not so shiny. The shiny works great on the gold, can't wait to see how silver and copper come out.

Maybe the bronze would look more natural by turning the reflections and spectral highlights almost off. The real-life bronzes I've seen weren't all that shiny or reflective. Love the statue object!

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.

tjohn's correct--especially in the case of the turquoise material, if it's meant to be a patina on bronze. It's oxidized metal and has little shine unless it's been worn by handling. In France, I saw a statue of the Madonna that was old, darkened, oxidized brass or bronze---but her outstretched hand was shiney and much lighter from people constantly reaching up and touching it for hundreds of years.

Patricia has a point about the aging - all these textures look so darn new! Maybe that's part of your goal, but most statues I've seen in person or in pictures have an antique look to them, except perhaps for jade. I'm also looking forward to the copper and silver.

I did this with the tarnished tin from the metals presets. I shifted the specular color from green to an orange. Then kicked the ambience up to ten. It really makes the surface look aged and less buffed.

Vile ( ) posted Thu, 18 July 2002 at 8:32 PM

OOOoo looks good I will try it. Although I think you like what I have coming up!

How about just plain old marble......many statues were made of this...?
