Incredible way to relax!
I prefer the lighting of the first image. It remember me a winter day.

On that kind of lock, the tumblers are at the top, at the oposite of the square part
of the keyhole.

   Hmmm... I don't know if I'm understanding correctly. I've done:

   #declare f_im=function{pigment{image_map ... }}
   texture{
    function{f_im(x,y,z).gray}
    texture_map{
     [0 t_metal1]
     [1 t_metal2]
    }
   }

   were t_metal1 and t_metal2 also use the same file for the image_map. 
So I used both a function and the image_map keyword...

   Thanks! I should use any of these as reference. I've done the padlock 
with Wings in some minutes... I only wanted something quick to test the 
texturing technique.

   Perhaps because it is just what you described... :) But I don't have 
any idea of what a padlock has inside... :(

Sorreeeeee!  My mistake, I meant to say "image_pattern"

#declare T_Shiny = texture{...finish { Shiny } };
#declare T_Dull = texture{...finish {Dull} };

#declare T_Finish =
texture {
    image_pattern { jpeg "..." }
    texture_map {
      [0 T_Dull ]
      [1 T_Shiny ]
    }
}

But I think I answered my own question.  I suspect they would get 
similar results.

   Ah! Yes, I always forgot about image_pattern...

   I should test... perhaps one of them is faster.
