Hey guys
This is my first work posted here , I'm still a newbie in 3dsmax (5.0) but I think i'm learning pretty quick (or so I hope hehe) yesterday I was playing around with materials and done this , I hope you enjoy it
PS - test render for the material ... no shadows (i put the lights and turn on the shadows but they dont appear

(using radiosity) )and the tube looks messed up but please mind the tube and the fact of there arent any shadows and please post coments
(If possible help me out with the shadows issue too)
Thanks , Bugga12 :wink:
