Har, I come back from time to time, here is my latest creation, I'm really quite proud of it.

I even made a tiny version for my signature. It's just that sexy.

It'd look a lot better if you employed some antialiasing.

Right you are.

No, some real antialiasing.

**** O_O!

that looks hawt, color it :)

I remember when I found a Zippo when I was tearing down my old garage. I inspected it, and did some research and it was about 20 years old. I then restored it (used some WD40 to fix the wheel, bought some flint, and some fluid). It was a great find.

zippos are great collectible items. I wish i had one so i could just flick it open and close it all day.

Maybe like the rendered one in his signature?

The one in his signature is the one I posted, he recently updated it, and it has AA.

What the hell color do you expect zippos to be? Haha. They are usually just stainless steel, with either a polished or a brushed finish.

It was just resized. But yeah, it has AA.

Raelyn, render one.
[actually, Wings makes renders fuzzy]

Aren't Zippos less round? That's quite good... though you forgot the pin which holds the flint striker in place... x-x

oh, i feel stupid :(

Don't feel stupid, there is a number of Zippos that come in different styles.

Har, mine is brushed stainless steel, but I semi-wrapped it in electrical tape to subdue it. Gives it a better grip too, I like it.
