hi yoyoz,
for the normal map try also this one, it's made with the plugin for photoshop find here in the resource forum
ciao beppe

Thanks for your replies.

I've made tests with the two maps provided by mib2berlin and bepeg4d. I can hardly find lots of differences, even compared to my original render, but I'm now seing watches everywhere... I did mine using Gimp but I don't know if there's any option I should check, or may be use another software?

@ mlody47 : yes, I'll be interested in 'real' HDRi ready for use in Octane. I'm getting confused too with the different formats (polar, rectangular, panoramic, etc...) and I don't really know what is the right one and can't even make the difference between good and bad HDRi.

hey, maybe try to export the whole scene with different scale ??

right now im picking HDRIs for You... Ill send a private msg to you with it.

I added some stuff, followed some recommandations. Not yet what I'd like to achieve but better than first shot!
I just realize I'm not even able to properly model a spoon...

Yes, and try to add little DOF

Awesome work bro
I like the way your going with it Would like to own a watch like that

Be one with your spoon young grasshopper

I d/l your maps, may show up in some werks here n there

Cheers,

I honestly can't see anything tragically wrong with that spoon. Hey, spoons come in all sorts of different shapes and sizez. If it were square, I'd just think it was an artistic choice.
Good work so far

hey yoyoz,
i think i know this type of spoon. it was available at "interflug" -good old gdr times.. just sheet metal:)
nice modelling work!

yoyoz aka the swiss army knife;)
