Panda Puzzle Redux

This is the LEGO bricks puzzle panda from the “What is it?” section of “Bricks and Pieces,” Spring 1975. I solved the puzzle in LDD years ago, originally rendering it in POV-Ray. For this remake, I thought it’d be fun to import into Mecabricks and render again in Blender.

Although I like my original, the pieces look more realistic in this render. The blacks look better as well, overly dark in the my first attempt. Sigh. I’m still critiquing my materials all these years later.
