I apply hammered finishes to real-world gear using special compounds made of two immiscible paints. When sprayed down, one pigment covers the surface while the other floats to the top and forms a network of slightly raised threadlike strands in a contrasting color. The low spaces between strands resemble dents in a metal surface that's been worked with a ball-peen hammer and anvil. A nice cheap way to get authentic retro looks for homemade schtuff. (Black or gray wrinkle varnish, as seen on microscopes and the like, is another great textured spray-on finish.)

Mister g200kg is an amazing talented programmer.

May I suggest to keep on donating for his programs so we'll keep his motivation/inspiration going

Talents like him must be rewarded!

Hey SQ4 I just saw your piece of software. Looks interesting. Can't wait to try it.

The GIF export of Knobman is - eehm - unusable.
For normal use you would export as .png stitched strip.
For showing here you would need to switch export to single numbered BMP pics and then use GIF animator or Gimp to put them together as anim.

aha! very good - it's not me after all, that explains everything. thanks

(finish your bode!)

that reflective slider would be cake in povray

it's so easy to use and learn

i'm guessing you accomplished the reflection with masking/bounding and animated lines for the 'reflection'

it's wonderfully shaded.

Maybe I'll dive into 3D later. First I have to dive into the changes in Synthedit 1.1

just to "be all helpful," if you use POVray

edit quickres.ini by copying some of the resolutions and changing the aa coefficient.. larger for faster, i'm using .05.

Others say, Blender is THE tool. So which one is easier?
