Hey, this woven carpet looks great.
Is the heightfield for one pattern and then repeated?
I do think so 'cause it is as perfect as my marshall
grille and that is a little bit too perfect. I still would
like to disturbe the weave a little bit.

Thanks

Yes, that tile used 8*8 strands. If you want to play here is a 2*2
strand, 100*100 pixel tile.

Yes, I agree, perfection is not always good :) but... I have two old
heavy speaker cabinets, 20*40" / 0.5*1m, and the weave IS still
perfect.

I can only see two things wrong -
    1. No guitar
    2. Master volume not set to 11 (it's one louder...)

so what is wrong? I checked some photos and they seem spot on

Just in case anybody is still  interested:

1. The Marshall logo in the late 60ies and
early 70ies did have a different shape and
was gold painted on the front. But it was
made from such a kind of material that it
easily did break. So almost any amp from
this time has either no logo at all or the logo
was replaced with the newer one. And so
did the guy from whom I bought the amp
about 12 years ago.

2. The original cloth weave in front of the
speakers did look different. I have destroyd
the original one during a concert (by accident,
I swear) and have replaced it. The image
shows the new one.

3. Because I was stupid or maybe only tired
I did fail in calculate 12 inch to cm. (One
POV-unit in the image equals one cm). So the
speaker cabinet as shown in the image is the
only one in the world with four 10'  instead
of  12' speakers. I did realize this after the
6h render was finished.

Well. Yes. You are right. Especially with the master volume.
This two points can also be seen as errors in the image.
So I have done 5 mistakes in one single image. Unbelievable.
