it doesn't even antialias, but enough noise makes anything look good ;)

and yea it's a pulserifle from 'aliens'

oh wow thats sweet. great lighting and texturing. what program did you use?

[eetu]

that was lightwave.
and oh yeah, the background is a photo.

here's another one, doesn't look as realistic though, (not that much noise but perhaps shows better what's going on.
(and what's not =suggestions taken

at least the texturing is still a bit uniform.

charles: i'm doing a lot of my lighting with panorama images and i like the light conditions on that one as the images have to be floating-point to work nicely, i haven't done any of my own yet :\ (working on it)
(that panorama is by paul debevec)

perhaps i should've blurred the background

Wow, that's really nice. The noise does a good job of giving it that "JFK Assasination Photo" effect.

My only criticism would be that, while it DOES look like a completely convincing rendition of a gun... it looks like a completely convincing rendition of a plastic gun. This is mostly due to how diffuse the reflections are. Crank up the shininess a bit, and it'll look more metallic. Unless that's what you're going for.

Very, very cool.

man eetu! Thats kickass!

I guess I will have to invest into lightwave.. the rendering is awesome.

I don't think that the metal parts look too much like plastic, but maybe a little more reflectiveness would not be bad.
