Ident 1 - Components - Button

And so; let us create that highly tempting button! To make it at a suitable level (So DiscoverBot just had to tap it; rather than crouch down to do it); it seemed a good idea to built it on a small stand. And so; a few cylinders and cones later, we end up with this:
The button-head was nice and easy. Squash a sphere down into a sort of 'smarties' shape, and then chop it with the hemisphere tool. Add another cylinder to the mix and we have a funky, alluring button!
Few tweaks and a quick render later...

Now for the texturing! Most of the components were able to be textured with a block colour coated with a high specular level (To make it really shiny!). However, what's a button without a warning banner on it? Just for style and added effect...

Add that onto the smaller cylinder and we end up with something that looks a little bit like this:

Nice. Don'tcha just want to press it?
