Shadows really help increase realism in any rendering. Atm everything looks flat, a nice shading algorithm will almost double the visual appreciation.

Yea, thats the very last thing on my list.

on the model sure. but i hope you're not talking about doing that to a 2d gui interface :D it looks flat too.

do you have photoshop? ry this: http://www.phong.com/tutorials/metal/
it'll look much better.

For the GUI, are you saying just to make the edges rounded then? Cuz I'm planning on that now that u mentioned it. I have gimp, I'll try to dig up some tuts.

No, I'm not going to putting the GUI through a shading alg.

i found a couple for ya. i'm curious to see what the gimp can do :D
