I seem to even have difficulty with a matte white finish.  Top that. :-)

You wish you had my model and the image?  ;-)

Actually I meant my scene and models but a look at yours would be good too.

I spent a long time modelling my Red Stripe bottles. I spent a whole evening
looking at them both full and empty, knocking them together to get the "ching"
as they collided in the Newton's cradle. A very tough evening ;)

The cribbage board was done completely with CSG in Moray, I remember 
that.  I still have the board and the cards, could probably recreate it 
if I had the energy. :-)

Two, four the rest don't score and one for his nobs :-)

I know what you mean, somewhere I've got the image maps and probably the Moray
file for mine but it was too long ago.

I'm sure mine were on hard drives that went to the electronics recycler.  
And the drives have been ground down now....

I'm sure that I have a backup tape (Zip drive) somewhere but no software. :(
