Wallace says: "I was looking it over again and think I will get rid of the big web on the C and make it smaller like the others. I also have to clean up the web textures a bit. I made the webs really quick to see how it would look. I also have to fix up the textures a bit more on the iron that holds the stone in place too and that should be it:D
I also have a new idea for the Aardvark."

Throne texture progress by Brian Evans

bevans048@gmail.com

Brian says: it's a layered shader where the darker areas are a blinn layered on top of a mental ray material (the more orangey areas.) the problem I was having was that the stencil would mask out the color just fine, but leave the reflectivity, bump map, specularity, etc unaffected. The result was that the blinn was over-riding the underlying shader in a weird way. I've circled a couple of areas on this comparison for you to see what I'm talking about. The chair on the right is the old one.

Wallace says:" I have a few smaller details now and I managed to bake down the rope texture and did a bit more to the texture in photoshop. Hard to see from this distance but I did:) I also added a bit of texture to the wood and I did a AO pass for this render as well.
I just want to do bit more texturing on the iron rods that hold the stone, and a bit more to the wood and nails too:)
