Hi all. I just finished this model for a “speed modeling contest”. I did this one in 20 min. I wanted something original, so I made the “SonicHair” Tell me what you think! ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/639/fa55315d8f4b1d8c.jpg) Thanks in advance, -3dnirvana ---

that’s pretty cool. Is it jsut me or does the reflection seem a bit off though. My guess is that the tooth brush is meant to be on the floor of some shiny surface but it looks more like it’s floating… ---

bigger texture on the eyes maybe, it’s all blurry right now… And maybe you should have a more glossy shader for them. And the tail looks like it’s been photoshopped… ---

Ethan - I think it’s because the “legs” are holding it up off the surface so the reflection is a little lower than the actual toothbrush’s handle. But I could be wrong, 'cause… why would a toothbrush have legs? Then again, why would a toothbrush have hair? :lol: I can just imagine myself thinking about this for hours while trying to fall asleep tonight. ---

That’s great. What application did you use? Either way the hair is AMAZING :). ---

Alright! Finally someone who uses Maya. 3DNirvana - Do you have AIM? I’d like to ask you just some simple questions on lights and things if you could =). I always wanted to learn what type of lights to use and how to render and how to render as a final file (ie .mov, .jpg, etc). Thanks. ---
