Desaturate the image

Lol, I do use desaturated images for everything but color... Though I'm not sure that even matters. The output color for these is all about brightness anyway. Or is it?

something I forgot to post earlier is that I've made some modifications with the hull:

I didn't get the desired effect with bump mapping since I needed bumps on my edges so I modeled them, and I also separated the inner and outer hull (it also solved a few problems with bump depth*** and texture size).

*** - Don't judge it by this picture

BTW, How do you like my new avatar?

yeah dude, love the avatar! looks a lot more fancier than your old one!
you made it yourself right?

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

I can't really take full credit for it because I used a fluid example from Maya that I played around with for those flames (It doesn't really look like flames that far away)
The rest I did myself - extrude along a CV curve, some tweaking, added a customized material with some glow and added a background + scaled it in PS.

Now that I look at it I can't take credit for the dog as well since it's from Kurt's tutorial... I grew tired of it anyway.

By the end of this challenge I hope to be able to use these particles/fluids on my own (I think I'll add some dust to the final render).

I'll go on now with my texturing. I'll post some progress soon hopefully...

Progress for today:

I put some some basic materials on the wires too but that isn't very exciting.

No, I didn't make up the logo (I bet someone will ask this one):

I'm going to a training now so I'm done for today I think.
C&C please,

Thanks Arran, I certainly will .
A bit of progress:
https://img374.imageshack.us/img374/5232/tempjr1.th.png

Textured the cover - now that I look at it I think I'll tweak it some more so it doesn't resemble the shelf that much.
Fixed the rails' texture, though I left a bit of a rusty feeling to it in addition to the dust for more variety.
Also added some detail and bumps to the rag...

C&C please,
Benny

Finished the hull for now, got started on the frame:

Used a high quality render this time to see if there's any difference.

C&C please,

the inside parts look pretty cool,

i think you could make the rust more ummm... prominent? (i think that's word i'm looking for), make it more like it's there

otherwise, what you textured so far looks damn good

Thanks Chirone,
The rust isn't really there in my refs, so I don't want to get too far away from those.
I thought I'll post my textures so you guys can tell me what you think:

Most textures I used are 1024X1024. these are simply scaled down.

Any critics and comments are welcome at this point. I've still got a lot to do here, and there's still no deadline in sight so It's never to late for more adjustments.

Had only two hours on the computer today... I hadn't done much , and I'm going to a training again so I'm done for today.

I added some details to the frame for texturing's sake:
https://img155.imageshack.us/img155/8656/tempre6.th.png
I haven't checked my poly-count in a long time so I attached it as well.
Spent the rest of my time re-editing the UVs (redoing actually).

Tomorrow I should get started on texturing the frame.

Awesome progress BennyK, the texturing look first rate!

haha, was going to saying 'fridges aren't made of wood' but then i relooked at your reference and it is

maybe that's why it was abandoned :p

Chirone: this fridge is over 20 years old!!! it has a wooden frame and a metal hull. the design is pretty efficient since there is a layer of heat isolation(air) between the two.

I also did the second part of the frame yesterday but I decided It's not enough to post by itself. here it is:

I'm going to start on (hopefully finish) the plywood today. I'll be posting more progress soon.
C&C please,
Benny
