For media to use the fading I think so.

You might want to add "no_shadow" to your light objects.  The shadow of
a lit lightbulb on the far wall seems a bit odd.

I like the textures you have put in.  Especially the stripes to prevent
a daydreaming scientist from accidentally falling in that mess of tubes.

hi TonyB

definatly look far to dim, mayby you should throw a bit more ambient
lighting in there (or a area light with no shadows placed at the top of the
room)

also try image maps instead of proc textures, may give you a better effect
on the walls, and pipes (trawl the 3d resource sites if your no to hot at
making your own)

also it seeme to be heading more realsitic, i thaught you were after a
pseudo 70's sci fi effect, if so, more primary colours and shiny plastic :)

I have a fluffy toy hedgehog called Bozo (you have to see it and
you'll have to admit it's the only name I could give him :) ) and a
smaller one caled Ken. I didn't call the bigger one Ken intentionally
because it's a memory from my ex and these still tend to carry a
negative connotaion which I'd never associate with Ken.

A nephew of mine got himself a pet hedgehog a little while ago.
Seeing this I got started wondering again why a hedgehog!
I never heard of such a domesticated animal before that.
Oh sure, there's Sonic the Hedgehog in video games but I never thought they sold the
live
things at pet stores.  Just seems so strange, and the idea of a toy one is only a
little
less strange to me  ;-)
Well, both are less strange until it's a Ken the Hedgehog toy.

I once had a hedgehog. My father found it on the road and brought it
home to my mother (she loves hedgehogs) thinking he would let it go
later that night. When he went out to let the little bugger he found
another one and brought them both back. Apparenltly they were a family
before they were brought home (the female probably went seeking that
drunk the male afther he didn't come home for dinner) because mother
hedgehog gave birth to three just two days after they arrived. Living
with a family of hedgehogs and four (at the time) cats can be fun esp.
in a two-room appartment :) That is, when the male hedgehod doesn't
try do dig a hole in the concrete floor (which he almost succeeded at
but he hit the steel armature and gave up). They wreaked havoc on all
the roaches for quite a while ahead.

The bottomline is that a hedgehog can be as nice as any other pet. At
least before they start chewing on a roach in 2 am, anyway.

Okay, I've heard it all now  :-)
I'm going to have to send this little story over to my Mom so she can forward it on.

Hey, guys, cute discussion, but I was kinda hoping somebody would contribute
a nice texture or two. I really want this to be a good image. Know what I
mean? Thanks.

You're right Tony, thanks for putting me back on track. As for the
textures, I think the gauge looks a little funny with the current
texture, maybe make the radial pigment color map go from green to
yellow to red (without blending, just three stripes) with these taking
about 120 degrees of the full circle.
