Thanks Maudib... I'm trying to re-create the design by Harper Goff. I'm very much into the steam punk theme... So I'm trying to re-create that here.
I was trying to figure out if I wanted to model each rivet. But then I wasn't sure how I could get them to align properly.
I decided just to use a texture map with a high bump value. Seems to help create the illusion. I have not UV mapped it. So some of the paneling drifts a bit. I will eventually UV map it to get more accurate Rivet pattern. Perhaps you may have a tip on that in Lightwave. Something to get the rivets to follow a specific pattern?
Anyhew, Here are some updates from The Nautilus.
