Hello All,
Seems the harder one attempts to shut out the World the more the World intrudes..., Kind of like the line from the stage production "Oliver", "Stop the World, I want to get off"...,
Finally eked out a little time to draw a few more items on the nacelle and blew a whole lot of time messing with the material and render settings so it looks pretty (I am a sucker for that part of it). Added the external exhaust manifold, hub and tire.
I've been experimenting with rivets. No surprise but when applied as a 3D entity on the surface they make reality pop completely out of the display. After that experiment it won't be any surprise if real panel lines do the same thing. It finally occurred to me that good renderer's are fully capable of capturing the real world to good effect. Capturing that "picture" and applying it to a flattened geometry is the end goal of all this "directed messing about"...,
Below is another teaser shot.
