Hi all,
I've been playing with 'Blue Steel' watch hands recently, and
trying to get the right texture/colour from memory as I've seen many
old pocket watches with these types of hands and thought it would be a
challenge for me.
(Please disregard the numerals as I think they're *not good*). ;)
The image was modelled in sPatch, and rendered in PoV.
What do you think I could do to improve the hands? I'm not quite
sure if I have the code right or not for this, but maybe someone could
give some pointers? Or is it ok?
Any advice most welcome...
texture {
pigment {colour Black }
pigment { Blue filter .345 }
finish {
ambient 0
diffuse .05
reflection .5
specular .6
roughness .001
metallic 4.5
brilliance 10 <----- (tried Alfs' figure here, (pov3.1) with
this image, (pov3.5)...)
irid {
.3
thickness .01
turbulence .02
}
}
}
}

Not sure about the blue steel. I have no image to compare it to. THe
crystal looks very nice. The device at the top for winding the watch
looks the least believable to me.

I posted a little scene file that produces a fair blued steel look in
povray.text.scene-files for you.
Cheers!

I don't have any reference to compare your image to, but it looks nice to
me. BTW, when you decide to redo your numerals "IIII" shoud be "IV" ;)

Hehe not on clocks, obviously you have no reference :-)
I don't know why, but clocks are an exception, may be to avoid reading
mistakes due to numerals rotation ?

Are you sure? Just looks like blue sky to me.

I never noticed that. I haven't seen any clocks with roman numerals in a
while, the exception being a clock my grandmother gave my family which keeps
the numerals level to the ground, and because of that uses a "IV" instead of
a "IIII."
Although I don't see how you could confuse a IV with a VI, even on such a
watch. IV is the only number that comes between III and V! ;-)

And not pocket watches either.

I think it's all down to the light angle.

Thanks for that! That works well (you can tell it's metallic now
by the reflection in the winebottle) and is much easier than the code
I had.
