Best way if you're using it is slap it into a diffuse node on the diffuse channel and get it looking right, then use it in the glossy's bump. A lot easier to figure. Let me know if it is any use to you.

Yes, that's what the clamp and colour correction node are doing. They're first reducing the information from the procedural (clamp), then increasing the contrast (colour correction). I just wish there was a 'contrast' node

Dude, that's a really clever solution! I don't see having to adjust it for every use a pain because basically you have to do that anyway. And having direct control over the texture properties in Octane instead of having to bounce back into C4D or Photoshop is a big time-saver. If Otoy can provide visual projectors that you can SEE, with mouse-adjustable rotation/scale/movement symbols, that would just about be the complete simplification.

Cheers. Would be better/easier with some better procedurals though

True. That is a huge landscape of possibilities.
Looks like you added a cylindrical projector for the curved scratches version? If Octane only had a sort of radial sweep function (akin to PShop's radial blur) that would be awesome.

Latest update. That brass bellows on the left had a lot of texturing, so it took a while. Now that that is done, the rest of this thing will go pretty fast, I think. Everything else is pretty much basic.

It looks amazing.

Two new images. Almost done!
The insanely badly done engraved serial number is actually true to form. After years of working with space hardware, I have always been amazed at the impeccable quality of workmanship, even for Class III hardware (not meant for flight). So when I opened up this gauge I couldn't believe how bad the serial number was, and had to laugh. At first I thought maybe it had been done by an amateur. Then I thought maybe it had been done by a guy on crack. I finally decided it had to have been done by an amateur on crack!
The hand-painted markings on the dial are also accurate. They were probably made with an old style ruling pen. So that jog in the arced box was actually there. I almost hated to do it that way, but I am documenting history, so there is no leeway in that respect.
