Btw, if you’re wondering, set smooth is turned on (on the main body of the syringe), it’s just I don’t think it works with env maps. I don’t mind too much though, it adds shape.
I’d have a comment on the needle. I’m not an expert on needles, but those I have seen had other shape of the sharp end. It usually looks like a pipe cut at an angle (so the opening makes a long ellipsis).
