I am looking for a highly detailed paint bucket model. Can anyone give me some directions ? Thanks, Danny.

Danny, Why don't you just model one yourself? A paint can would be _very_ easy. Or is there something more you're not telling? DM

>Why don't you just model one yourself? A paint can would be _very_ easy. Or is >there something more you're not telling? Well, you were right ! I modeled it and it was_not_too_hard. The thing is it has to be real, just as it was filmed on video. I'm trying with the POV-Ray Raytracer to achieve this. Danny.

> just as it was filmed on video Good maps are the key to realism, IMHO. Scanning an actual label, along with separate opacity, bump and shinniness maps for scratches, dents, etc. will make all the difference.

PMJI: but before (or after) you use POV you should take a look at RayMan. It has some options that makes more realistic images than POV… We`re making some realistic scenes (bootle runs between people to the beach, bottle between the knees of a woman (not erotic<g>), bottle standing on a table, talking to an actor and much other things) in this days and RayMan makes the best possible image quality.

Hi Ed, the RayMan update is available in about 3 or 4 weeks. Fasten your seatbelts. The new version will blow you away! Michael
