Very interesting in its own right. Call it "Zest of Sky". I like the colors and the lighting. I suppose if you tweak down the smooth/soften, it would approach the texture(?)of shaved metal. Or would there be linear scoring along the ribbon?

Rich thats quality!

Thanks gents, it's more experimenting than anything else. I'm reviewing MoI3D for CatchUp and the workflow between SketchUp means the impossible is now possible.

The mesh was so dense that I just added Thea's default displacement material and went to bed. 6hrs later I got this weird result.

I thought my flat tenancy was due up in 2 months but was actually two weeks so have to move house taking me to multi minus bank again lol!

Back on subject Rich do you have any wire views for the shavings?

You can't see them from a distance nor can you orbit in SketchUp so here's a closeup

Nice Having been a CNC machinist for a number of years, it seems like the edges should be sharp, not rounded. Just an observation.
