Greetings, If you are interested, i did a wood texture that might make an interesting handle - using layered procedurals. In the image - the top half is with normal anti aliasing. The bottom is how it would look if aa was turned off. BR4 file is about 25K zipped if you are interested in taking it apart and seeing how this was done... Might not be any better then what you have already - but might give some ideas for other texturing projects. If you want it IM me an email address... and i think the scene is looking good but there is always improvements - all work is a work in progress till you tire of it.......... Best, hewsan
