SpinQuad Challenges: The ufo challenge

-
Haha..I was planning to finish off the Crabulus character this week but a cool competition popped up, so it's on the back burner for now :O)

If you have Lightwave and would like to win a copy of Zbrush or other cool prizes then head over to the SpinQuad forum and join the challenge to create a UFO model. It's the first stage of a three part challenge, the next part is texturing the winning model and then it's onto animation...but lets not get too far ahead :)

The deadline for the current stage is midnight Friday 23rd August 2009 so there is still plenty of time to create that stunning UFO...jump in and have fun :)

This is a wip of my entry, you can see the progress of all the UFO's here

Take the Material Mixer to combine foreground and background materials, and add an extra input for edges and one for scale/size. The idea is, you connect an Angle node to Edge input and specify which edges should be affected. For example, if the Angle input value is 90.0°..then any edge that has an angle between 0.0° & 90.0°, will have the background material applied. The Scale input can be a percentage or a distance value, say 6mm either side of the edge etc. And bingo...we have worn edges in Lightwave....I think...hehe. Oh yes....I got another 3 cool metal textures as a r...
