3D Corroded Pipe

[chrisdesign]

Another Blender job.
It's just a piece of pipe. But it looks like a piece of art to me.

I spent a lot of time with lighting to get good highlights and shadows, and hours with render settings.

Wow Chris. This looks like real! It looks like you could grab the pipe...


I feel I will have a lot of work in Blender next winter!

Thanks Eggy. Appreciate it very much.
Yes, I really hope you'll give Blender a serious try.

Great work Chris! I really like the lighting and how it interacts with the texture. The pipe's texture and color looks good but I think it's far to even and consistent to mimic that of a corroded pipe. Like you said, more like art.

Thanks for your feedback Ged. I appreciate it.

I'd call it the Hammerite Paint effect

Thank you very much Sam for your kind words, I appreciate it.
You're right, "corroded" is not exactly the right term I chose for this designer pipe.

Yes Ged...this is it!
This is a part of the texture I used.
