Here are some really neat, detailed hardware models I did that you can download for FREE (free for commercial use as well). Included are a philips head cap screw, a button head machine screw, a hex head cap screw, a wing bolt, a wing nut, flat washers, a star washer, jam nuts, and a cap nut. All of these images were rendered in Kerkythea using my own custom-created HDRI images for lighting and some basic metal (brass, chrome, stainless steel) textures applied. I think the results are stunning. Please let me know what you think and if you use these, please post some info here so we can all see. Enjoy!
It looks like a lot of you are not willing to sign up for a free membership to Turbo Squid to get these hardware models so I am putting them up to my Box.net account to download them directly. The models are available in OBJ and 3DS formats separately. You will also need to download the material file for the OBJ format models.
