Models in Cycles

Hello, 

These 3D models had been made in Blender 2.49 version for Project OSCAR 3D model Repository and were rendered in Blender Internal Render engine.
I have re-done the material and lighting of these models in Blender 2.63 version and rendered with Cycles render engine.
 

Crucible: 

 Render output with the basic studio setup:

Crucible Material Setting:
For Crucible Material I have used Mix Shader one is Translucent BSDF and the second is the Diffuse BSDF. I have used Factor 1 and used the following color setting:- R:1.000, G: 0.950, B:0.900
 

 Ammeter: 

Black Plastic Material Setting

Metal Material Setting

For this Red Terminal I have used Diffuse BSDF shader and color values are:

R: 0.06372 , G: 0.001699, B: 0.001699.

For the Number texture I have used the Diffuse BSDF shader and in color i have used Image texture,  in Vector used Texture Coordinate / UV. 

For texturing I did the UV mapping first and then i made the scale texture in Photoshop and import it in blender using Image texture.

I did the UV mapping in three parts using vertex group, then I have made the Image texture in Photoshop. I have used the following material settings:

I have used three Material for each vertex group part and import the texture using Image Texture on Color.
