Ball sets

[nunsacred]

The neon ball set is great. Georgeous lens effect of a stripe ball rolling slowly past two others into a pocket.
I used to fiddle around with ray-tracing so I appreciate the speed of the Mantis engine doing it smoothly in realtime.

Anyway I'd like to volunteer some ball art designs.
In particular I think we need a couple of tasty BLACK BALL sets because the plain yellow/red ones don't show the spin/skid of the balls.

What artwork format would be best? Presumably rectangular images but what format and size?

EDIT: just found this superb example, see 1:55 - 2:03

Hey Nunsacred,

Congrats on the first Art related post

Those designs are pretty interesting (look a bit like footballs) and I agree, it would be nice to have some funky Black Ball sets!

It's nice to know that some players have tried their hand at ray tracing and 3D in general! Like you, I remember waiting literally hours just to render a simple chrome ball and being wowed by it - my God how times have changed!
