Paint Brush

Here is a quick test render of a paint brush that I made for my Paint sim. I tried adding a little detail into the metal brace of the brush. I used Photoshop to add the texture and I used Maya fur systems for the brush itself.

This is the first version of the paint brush and there will be more improvement because I think it look too CG.

Maya Fur Systems.

Improvements:

• wooden texture; less bump and get the grain the correct direction.
• Metal has a little more highlight. Fix up the Mia_material.
• Brush has more black streaks in to. Change the base opacity so its darker.
• Metal frame is more round, add another bevel to yours.
