actually, I did, here, but the post has been a while back, if you want I can attach an image of it on monday. I used it in some matchmoving shots for my demo. Most of them were far away shots, so it doesn't have as much detail. I made a blue angel version of it.

Right. Here's some wips just to show you I haven't been lazy :p
Still not liking the textures so far... Maybe the grooves are too dark... or the plane itself too desaturated... ?

There is some panelling (very slight)... It just got lost when I lowered the resolution and saved as jpg... Gotta see what I can do about it... The motion blur was done in photoshop... guess it washed away the textures too...
