Table-top lighter, inspired by images of similar objects from ~ 1925.
The shape of the lighter seemed like a good challenge for "less is more" - in terms of geometry - approach I am practicing (within reason).
It went well up until the point when the border between 2 textures along the slope edge showed up somewhat jagged, geometrical, rather then smooth. From here on addition of 1 edge-loop turned into a series of adjustments all over the model.: a disaster! :)
Any ideas or comments - please share!
thank you for your kind words, @killer wolf :) when I called it a disaster I was referring to underlying mesh ;)
well if that's a disaster i'd love to see one of your successes! looks excellent to me, the textures are amazing and the design itself is gorgeous.
