A shovel

[R Reynolds]

The prototype for this model (including the texturing) is hanging in my garage.

I toyed with the idea of simply using a photo of the blade to decal the texture but I've been forcing myself to use more complex materials because I'd like to think that dealing with the pain of tweaking procedurals, builds character. I did use colour samples from my reference photos in the materials.

That's quite a handsome shovel. Nice work. I like the texture. Maybe the line where the rust ends is a little too uniform across the shovel.

Nice shovels.

 

I sense an "American Gothic" parody coming.
