Done entirely within megapov. No images maps were used.

After trying with different normal settings, I decided to get rid of them.

Regards,  Alberto.

Just MHO: the finishes are a bit dull and the knob to wind the watch 
with would be rather difficult to operate - too slippery.

Try changing the background colour to either Blue/puple or even green. It'll
probably make the brass look brighter.

Set the ambient on the metal surfaces to 0, and give them more to 
reflect, as well as more reflection and stronger highlights. The brass 
texture looks dull, try increasing the reflection value.  Try to make 
sure that ambient + diffuse + reflection <= 1 for most cases...

The watch would probably look better on a patterned surface, try putting 
it on some wood, with a block of wood behind it. Another thing I often 
do when testing metals: use a sky_sphere with a black-white wrinkles 
pigment.

I agree with you. I'll change the knob, may be using a Bezier prism. I
hope to have a better image next weekend. If that's the case I'll post it.

Alberto.

hum... Interesting. I'll give it a tray. Thanks Mick.

How about using some isosurface? Your knob reminded me of that in
Isosurface Tutorial (on page
http://www.econym.demon.co.uk/isotut/builtin.htm) and I made few quick
trials. Source and results are below.

#version unofficial MegaPov 0.7;

  texture {
    pigment { rgb <1,0,0> }

I think I've been raytraycing to much these days. I forgot the ambient
and brilliance settings.

Thank you Chris, your comments are of much use.

Alberto.

I think that the last one fits better my needs, but I'm not sure. Thank
you though.

Have a look to the finish settings in my metal textures in the
pov-scene-text-files. They work in most cases. And try brilliance 1.5 or up.
With a bit of work around the textures and the environment (try to add a
skysphere or a box) you'll get a neat image. Did you use radiosity?
jrg.
