I was recently searching for photos of the Niagara online when I discovered
that there was a star painted on the top of the capstan. I decided this was
the perfect excuse to rework the capstan. In the process I discovered that
by applying slope to my textures, I could show wear on the edges of the
parts. I rendered this image with poor radiosity settings, but was so
pleased with the results of my texture experiments, that I decided to share
them with you. the star is a prism that is set into the black wood. All of
the textures are procedural.

Now I need to finish reworking the bottom half of the capstan and
then....rework all the wood textures using slope....this project was
originally concieved as s short project I could use to learn POV-Ray....I
am learning, but it is not a short project!

As allways, I love criticism,

Tim
