Oooo... too much ambient. :-S I thought it looked (who did they say in 
The Matrix?) "a little weird".

As for looking more dirty... I can only suggest adding pigment texturing 
to try to make it look like it has concentrations of dust, etc. in the 
hard-to-clean resesses. (Probably a nightmare to texture!) And make it 
less reflective, turn down the specular hilight, etc. Sorry - not much 
help I know!

Certainly an interesting model though!

Thanks.
