      I'd been looking around for a decent Victorian fireplace but couldn't find one so decided to give making one a go. I'm happy with the modelling of it but can't find a decent black cast iron texture to use. Its a difficult one as it doesn't really have a lot of texture to it but neither is it completely flat looking. Anyone have any ideas of how to make it look more like cast iron?

      It was rendered with iRender with edge lines set to 1 pixel.

        Great model, as far as texturing goes I do not think 'one' texture will work, I suggest making a few variations in PS as in reality the fireplace would have uneven wear, and heat damage one certain areas, scratches on others...you get what I'm saying right?

        If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

          And maybe you can start with this texture. Works well I think.

            Hey Pete, Yeah I get what your saying. However I was thinking of it being a brand new fireplace as opposed to an old one so the surface would be pretty clean and uniform. Here's the image that I modelled from to give you an idea what I'm after.

              Oh thanks Eric, you snuck in there while I was replying to Pete. I'll give that texture a go. ๐Ÿ‘

                That texture has worked quite well, Eric. Thanks for sharing!

                    I like this Kevin. The iRender has produced a very good result.

                    Did you use Profile Builder with this model?

                      Thanks Dylan.

                      No, I don't have profile builder. I just used the good old follow me tool. Profile builder would be very nice to have though.

                        Here's the fireplace rendered with Podium to show the difference between the 2 renderers.

                          here it is:

                          its render15.jpg from the podium free textures, i just desaturated and darkened.

                          not sure how well it will work but if you scale it right i'm guessing it could give that cast iron texture.

                            Cheers for that Oli. I'll give it a try.
