Thank you.

Rolling the can across the scanner?  Er...noooo....  (Visions of Alan
sloowwwllly trying to keep with the scanner light... D'oh!)  It comes with
the mesh of the coke can, conveniently enough.  It's on the Household
objects page of the free meshes at www.3dcafe.com.

I adapted the supplied image map in Paint Shop Pro by adding layers of metal
textures and then going beserk with the eraser.  Then I made a grayscale
version of that adapted image and used it as a bump_map in the normal of the
texture.  I was too lazy to do a 'fake' specular map but, as Gilles says
further down this tread, something like that is possible.  (He's obviously
far more patient than I am.)

Sorry for the late reply, but my HD was replaced two days ago and the
friendly engineers forgot to put the drivers back on for everything.  Life
is hard...

Bye,
Alan.
