After you finish matting the ring, do a test render to see how it looks. You might have to tweak it a bit to get it to look just right for yourself... Here's a sample of what it might look like for me. Larger view is in my gallery.

Nicely done ThunderStone. Say, that interface doesn't look all that mush different than Bryce 5.5.

Quest: in a sense, no... but there is a difference in the mat editor.. the dirt shader is hidden in there... LOL

LOL...I knew there would be a catch somewhere...hidden shaders and stuff...j/k, I'm sure noobies would have no trouble getting into the know in minimal time. Anyway, nice, concise and to the point mini tut on the ring.
