| Sputnik 1, highly detailed with realistic materials. As close to the original as I could find reference. Modelled in Maya 7.0, polygon surface, materials are procedural and ready for rendering in mental ray, a simple hdri map is included.
You need the mix8layer shader installed, it's available here
