      Made a quick little test.

      I turned the bump map intensity way down - using a Noise map with a very small size.
      For reflection I used a very glossy fresnel map, with very low Perpendicular value (15).
      Played a little with anistrophy - but didn't seem to do a whole lots.

      Bumps are still too strong and the reflection is still not right. Needs something in the environment to reflect.

      this is better than mine already, but i feel the gold paint still looks a bit metallic, however i 100% agree, enviroment is needed. I didn't use noise because i don't use it from ages and i don't remember how to control the dimension of the noise itself.. 😳
      I think you are close there with the velvet.. mine looks more like a "loden.vismat" πŸ˜†
      i think when i rework this i can start a specific topic in vray section (or maybe wip?)

        Yea, the paint should be somewhat more matt.

        The Noise size is set by:

        It'd be nice with a thread for experimenting with these materials. Give me a nudge when you've done the model.

            Finally got me a copy of Vertex Tools and I am quite impressed.

            One question. I am trying to turn on the "Select Only Visible" option and am not having luck. I click on it in the context menu or in the tools menu and it won't "turn on". I can click on the example image multiple times and each time I open the context menu I get what you see, not checked.

            Thanks.

                It's a selection modifying command - not a selection mode. It simply filters your existing selection. This is because the function is very slow.

                Ignore Backfaces on the other hand is a selection mode you can activate with any of the selection tools. It's fast but relates to the direction, normal, of the connected faces - so it's not the same as what's actually visible.

                      Well before I could retract I figured out that I should have checked "Ignore Backfaces" like you say. 😳

                      I have the blank Dunny open just to play with Vertex Tools.

                        It is more of a theory.

                          ok, i had a second run at it and now is almost fine for my purposes.. not perfect, but good, i also did a quick test in vray and it renders within a decent amount of ram.. i took some screenshot this time, i'll try to upload/arrange them as soon as possible..

                              did some minor changes to the previuous version. i think 95% of the difference depends on the fact it was taken away from Venus' atmosphere and placed into the actual granny's living room.. β˜€

                                      no. i downloaded one from whareouse at first

                                      Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

                                      favicon

                                      (sketchup.google.com)

                                      but was looking very poor in the render test so i replaced the components/materials one by one to achieve a decent result..
                                      actually i think this is the easier tree ever modeling wise.. even if you want to draw it from scratch..
