Any one clever enought to create a cartoon type bomb for me?

It doesn't have to have the fuse as I'll use Particle Candy to render a flame....

Something likek this...

I can't say I'm too bothered - enough so it looks ok...

Sorry meshes aren't my strong point.

And I would really appreciate it if you tell me what you use to create them?

thanks but it has no texture - erm it looks flat - is there anything I can do about it?

That's cos it's black, even with a light it's still gonna look flat i'm afraid.. Sure you don't want a blue one like in the picture?

Specular lighting (entityShininess) as in Frank's example should give it shading even though it's black and be just the ticket for that sort of object.

That's what i thought but it didn't really work, even with a specular highlight you still don't get a sense of depth, just a white blob inside a black blob.

Thanks for all your help.

I have opted for Wings3d and Giles - this is my first effort, it's a rusty old bomb...

I strongly agree with ferminho
I love the particle effects on the bombs :D
Well done!!
