• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Fantastic technical work TF!
One thing worth noting though... in my humblest opinion... is the fact that in real life nothing is duplicated exactly and identically...
To add a little bit of that magic of creating an illusion of surface texture, depth, play of light and shadows, etc. I think that
one needs to randomize effects so as to emulate "real life" as much as the artist can...

Inspired by your wonderful work... I just cooked up a quick and dirty pic. of what I mean...


To wit:

I hope you see this in the light of adding yet another technique to your immaculately clean technical skills and help you create even more awesome things... and not
just another "rivet counting" type of criticism...


Sincerely,
