I modeled this vice in Inventor and used KeyShot for the renderings (and also GIMP for some post-editing). Tell me what you think :)
Looks great to me BM. The fingerprints are a nice touch (pardon the pun).

WoW! Beautiful textures. .
Best worn painted cast-iron yet! Care to share your tricks?

Very nice shaders!
It's really picture look.The texture bump is nice.Can you share it with us ?
The material is awesome. Is this one of the stock materials we provide?
Thanks for your replies :)
All materials are stock with some dust and scratch maps applied as labels (and some fingerprints on the handles). Also I made 2 different renders from all camera angles: one with the cast iron tinted red and one gray. In GIMP I used the two renders as different layers and erased the upper layer for the worn-out parts. (it's Nerowulf's method as seen here: http://keyshot.com/forum/index.php/topic,1824.msg6553.html#msg6553 )
Really well done. Thanks so much for sharing.
As everyone has already mentioned, great textures. Very nice work.
Thank you all!
Wow! Amazing rough casting texture. Thanks for the photoshop layering tip - so simple, yet I had never thought of it! Pity it's only good for still images though.
Lovely modelling too!
Thanks, Ed
Thank you, Ed!
You're right, this method is only good for still images, but I'm not really into making animations in KeyShot, so I guess I'll stay with it :D Maybe once I'll figure out how to make UV-mapped textures so I can use them to make animations.
Btw the model is available on GrabCAD, if anyone's interested: http://grabcad.com/library/bench-vice--17
