New versions are attached (now with method (blender/svg) and version in
the name).
Changelog:
= Blender =
 * Made the texture grey and a little lighter
 * Added a specular map to bring out the scratches and get an overall
more realistic feeling.
= SVG =
 * Made the surface darker
 * Subdued the scratches a little
 * Added the bevel effect to the edges.
