LOL! Neat...
> I made this:
The wood grain looks painted on. But it looks like *real paint* on a
*real table*. Perhaps one of those plastic vineers they like to put on
chipboard to make it look like wood. And the screws look awsome...
Tell me, how many years did it take for this to render?

Yes and no. In the highlight, where the specular actually shows up the
grain, the surface is clearly tactile, but the flattening in the
pneumbra areas is quite pronounced. One of those circumstances where
realistic effects don't necessarily look as we expect I guess.

Nice, Warp! My only critisism would be that the slots have very little
depth to take a flat-blade, maybe a touch more depth would do it.

Very nice, Warp. The modeling is excellent and I like the effective use of DOF focal
blur on this.
How have you been?

Somehow, I liked the wooden texture in your amazing "4 tips to improve a

http://warp.povusers.org/povtips/
I liked the black_hole warps, but it looks like they weren't accompanied by
the appropriate normal or the lighting doesn't show it.
The hightlights in the screws make them look like made of plastic. Perhaps
they should be smaller or be slightly perturbed by micronormals?
are the screws isosurfaces or CSG?

I wouldn't even know how to make such shapes as isosurfaces.
The spiral is a mesh created with sdl.

The slot's depth is typical for that king of screw, I ocasionaly find myself
using a metal saw on those slots. I prefer robertson screw heads: no sliding
(like slot heads) and no poping off (like phillips heads).

Having spent the last day unscrewing screws similar to this on electrical
fixtures in my home, I can say the depth is pretty consistent with what I
was dealing with - I think it looks fine. :-)

Torx is also one great beast of grip.

I agree with you on that point, you can put more tork with torx screws. But
robertson is beter for "ordinary" every-days use, while torx is more oriented
toward technical uses. At least, here in Canada.

I can imagine Robertson as practical, but unfortunately it's damn rare
here, so I can't know for sure. Robertson is easier to make than torx
and for Robertson you can make a perfect key by yourself (well, you
_can_ for torx too, but it's not so trivial).

Never saw it in my place, to tell the truth. First time I even heard about
it! So, it may be inexistant here...

Here the most common for wood screws is 'posidriv' , an enhancement of
phillips, secure if you use the good size key

I agree with you Steve. The slot is too fine and shallow for the UK. I don’t
know if you’ve used the square drive ones. I think they’re good but I prefer
Alan screws for metal (nothing wrong with a bent bit of metal :-).

Yes, but only to certain limit. Pozidriv won't be delivering even near
the torque torx does easily. The reason is also simple, while torx's
head is flat when looked from the side:

I agree but you don't want to give too much torque to a wood screw :-)

Depends. I've had problems with pz's when the wood is really tight. But
generally, yes, usually the situation is as you said ;).

Yes, a Canadian invention and arguably one of the best screwdriver types
that never got the international (or at least American) exposure it perhaps
deserves.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robertson_screwdriver
It is one of the most common used here in Canada for everything from wood
screws to metal screws.
However they can strip hideously if you use the wrong size head or don't
seat it well as I found out quite often while building my deck...

Wow, didn't notice this post from Unka Ken here! Damn Ken, don't worry
about Warp, he's just as mean as he's ever been... (no offence Warp!) ;)
Ken, someone was asking after you recently here on the groups, how are
you? Ok?
