The 'Portal Gates' are a Steel, Brass and Copper art installation by the the master blacksmith and sculptor, Albert Paley - it was commissioned for the Renwick Gallery.

Model from GrabCAD by RonB

Texturing, lighting and rendering is mine. custom texture maps were built for a dusty look

Thanks for viewing

You should do a tutorial explaining how to create these awesome looking metal textures... and the lightning as well.
I really like your style

Very superb looking!

+1 on the texturing master class...

Another shot - this time a top down showing the model more fully...

Thanks Esben and Dries, yes I will do a tutorial - but at the moment my personal life is upside down, when I'm on a more even keel (if I ever am)

I would so love to get my hands on that brass material.

It would complement a lot of our deburring tumbled parts SO nicely.

I will -very firmly- hold you to that, John.

Just why can't the default KS mats library have such lovely metals?

They breathe so much life into ordinary objects...
