Egg Texture

I thought it would be fairly easy to model and texture an egg.

Which is why I chose it as my first Maya model project.

However I seem to be failing miserably at producing a realistic eggshell shader, or texture.

I wonder if anyone could give me some pointers, please.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Hmm, sorry from lack of replys. I definently would have thought you would have gotten some help.

I would use bump maps, just to dip your feet into texturing. Also, a palish white texture map as well. Then if you really wanted to get into it, look into something called specularity maps.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I managed to knock a photoshop texture up. Although it;s a flat texture it seems to render quite well.

I will try your suggestions for a more realistic texture, but at the moment what I managed to knock up renders quite well.

Thanks for replying, I really appreciate it.

Sure, anytime. Actually, I might even do a egg model now, just to brush up on my bump map skillz, which suck by the way.
