Once this is available, PigeonTalk becomes a viable programming environment that others could use." The development environment would run in a web browser and would communicate with the Smalltalk engine using WebSockets. This Kickstarter project is to provide a development environment for this Smalltalk which I'm calling PigeonTalk. It's an ideal environment for learning and playing with software. Smalltalk allows you to create, use, and explore software in a very hands-on way. "I chose Smalltalk as a language because it provides the most immersive experience I've encountered. Buck - the creator of DKBTrace, the pioneering raytracer that was the genesis of POV-Ray - has created a KickStarter campaign to fund creation of an open-source IDE for PigeonTalk (PigeonTalk is a smalltalk implementation created by David that is aimed at being a programming environment to explore computing). You can download it from Blendswap.David K.

Written tutorial with all steps covered in detail can be found in 3dWorld magazine.īuilt upon the source model of the Drill by Frank the Smith (CC-0). But who cares? Fresnel reflections get stronger at sharp angles, so it will enhance the rim light effect near the edges and reveal the shape better. Technically, applying fresnel falloff to metal material isn’t physically correct.

So don’t worry about it being dull for now.

The interesting parts, like scratches, will be added as a material layer. For that reason, let’s keep away from fancy stuff, because it will make our tiling pattern very apparent. A dull texture can be a good textureĪs we are going to project our textures from different sides of the ‘box’, we need a tileable textures. And, of course, Generated or Object coordinates. We don’t want to unwrap high-poly models, don’t we? If so, use box-mapping as a texture projection mode (in material editor). Never ever.Įspecially rim lighting – or back lighting – that’s important, use it. No way we can make bombastic heavy metal with poor lighting. In creating every shader, to be honest, but material is especially sensitive. I can stress this enough: lighting plays an important role in creating convincing metallic shader. And also a bit Rammstein style (for the fun of it). We going to make it Silent Hill style – grungy as hell. Discover how to make metal material in Blender in 5 steps.
