I 'briefly' considered rendering the unconscious form of the troll in Harry 
Potter; then thought it was more waste than the toadstool that began the 
thread you reference.

Good show!

Have you done it all with POV-Ray?

Great! Those remind me of a car I used to see around here, it was painted
bright metallized orange, and it was quite conspicuous under the summer
sun.

There was, I believe a paint used on some Mitsubishi Eclipse's (mid-late 
90's vintage) that was a burnt orange from one angle, and an olive from 
a different angle. Very interesting to look at, but I wouldn't want to 
own one.

Jaime,

Nice renders, care to share the texture you are using?

Thanks,
Sean

Very nice. Knowing your previous work, I expect that the "defects" near 
the phong highlights are probably due to the JPEG compression. Love to 
see the pictures at a higher resolution.

On a different note. Although they are not quite visible here, how do 
you make your numberplates? Are they CSG or blobs? I'm especially 
interested in the letters and numbers. I've been looking for a font that 
mimics the dutch numberplate font, because I wanted to make customisable 
numberplates. Haven't found one yet :-( It's a pity that every european 
country uses it's own font.

Great work,

   No, these defects are the triangles of the car mesh, I think, showing 
badly in some places.

   It's a height_field, as all I've found was a jpg image with all the 
chars and numbers (in a site about miniature car modeling). The font 
used in Spain is also very rare and I cannot find anything even remotely 
similar...

   No, the car is modeled with Wings3D and the environment is made with
photos mapped on boxes. But the car paint is 100% POV-Ray procedural
textures.

   Of course no... I will put some example on my site soon, but bellow
is the texture itself. The idea is very simple, and the effect can be
controlled playing with the specular amount of the first layer and the
transmit value on the second.

#declare rmin=.1;
#declare rmax=.33;
#declare c1=Blue*.25; #declare c2=Green*.5;
//#declare c1=Red*.125; #declare c2=Yellow*.5;
//#declare c1=Blue*.2+Green*.1; #declare c2=Yellow*.5;
//#declare c1=Violet*.5; #declare c2=Red;
//#declare c1=Red*.5; #declare c2=Green;
//#declare c1=Black; #declare c2=White;
//#declare c1=Black; #declare c2=Red;
//#declare c1=Blue*.5; #declare c2=Orange;
//#declare c1=Black; #declare c2=Aquamarine;
//declare c1=Black; #declare c2=Blue*.7+Green*.3;

#declare t_custom_paint=
texture{
  pigment{rgb c2}
  finish{specular 2 metallic roughness .1 brilliance 10}
}
texture{
  pigment{rgb c1 transmit .33}
  finish{
   specular 1 roughness .0125
   diffuse 1-rmax reflection{rmin,rmax} conserve_energy
   //irid{.25 thickness pi/2} // :)

Now there's something I hadn't thought of. I could just take some 
pictures of plates and thus collect all the characters and define a 
height_field for each. Thanks for the idea.

I saw a green/purple version of this, looked stunning.

Hi all!

Dunno who it was, but I saw very interesting metallic car painting a year 
ago or so, maybe more. It was rendered in MLpov, the paint colour was 
AOI-dependent. Moreover there were some fine metal particles visible in the 
coat. Tried to search the POV-Ray Newsgroup to no avail. There was also 
quite nice animation - the futuristic car speeding through the city. I 
thought that stunning procedural paint would look cool with this magnificent 
piece of model. Does anybody remember that thread and possibly give a hint?

Excellent modelling Jaime

Erk? Gotta play around some with this...

I thought from some way back discussions in these newsgroups that finishes
in layered textures always ended up being the last one used.

I've been making layered textures with a finish only on one texture. You
mean that I could have been layering finishes too?

   It has room for a lot of playing... depending on the colors to mix, 
you will need to adjust the specular and the transmit values.

   No, that was normals. The tutorial even warns about not confusing it 
with finishes... :)

   Hmmm.... yes, sorry... ;) (I've suffered such "subconscious 
assumptions" sometimes, even with the most obvious things).

   The only thing I found was Tek metallic paint macro, searching for 
pov+metallic+paint. Thanks for the hint: I had borrowed some bits from 
Tek approach.

Thank you very much, Jaime. Now I have a very beautiful metallic texture 
for my big truk. :)

   Wow! I'm glad to have contributed to that ambitious project: the 
level of detail is amazing! I will have to ask you for help when 
designing my first truck (I would like to do a "busy freeway" scene in 
the future).

I think these paintings are called "pearlescent" or "luster"
paintings. Some car manufacturers call them "mica" where mica
is a low refractive index material used for one of the two
or three layers these paintings have.
