Yes, I figured he meant that but I couldn't find the right word for it:
segments (duh!) thanks for helping me out.
I have some difficulties on deciding what the best way of "modeling" is for
the segments. Texturing them is easy but "modeling" them isn't (well at least
for me it isn't). I thought I could do it by using a gradient bump map but
that doesn't look realistic. Well back to the drawingboard to figure out a way
to do the segments.

Thanx,

Rob.
