Calligraphic art teapot

This surface is simply brushed silver with an Arabic art calligraphic carved on it. Teapots like this are actually very popular in Egypt and sold in a place called Khan-ElKhalily. In case you visit Egypt then remember to buy one of these :)

 

To achieve this surface I used the following:

 

1- Bump mapping to map the normal according to the calligraphic to be carved on the surface.

 

2- Turbulence to slightly perturb the normal hence giving the illusion that the silver is brushed.

 

3- Reflection shading to give the illusion of the silver being reflective.
