Hi all, Please could you help. I am trying to create and effective brass. I am doing this in principle by having a black diffuse colour (for the reflections) on the surface;a reflective layer with a falloff map for a range when material changes, and a Glossiness of 0.7 Attached is a screenshot of current issue.'Side two' shows promising results, black reflections etc.However as you can see it does not pick up the table lip profile. In order to get this shown as in Side 1 I had to add a dirt map to the diffuse layer (which was the black reflections) however this then cancels the effect of the black reflections. I have tried two diffuse layers one for dirt (in the transparency slot, and one for the black reflections to allow one to bleed through. However, this has not worked at all) I hope this makes sense. Any urgent help would be so appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you all very helpful. They never released the 'new' Mac Pro this year at WWDC anyway. The wait continues - I think a switch to a PC desktop is likely.

Hi All, I am concidering processing with an upgrade to a Mac Pro 2013 from an old 2008 Mac Pro tower. I have some queries with regards to the change. Specifically - has anyone been using sketchup with Vray 2.0 on this machine? Do you find it works well? And have you any issues using Vray RT or all areas of vray. All help, and experience with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
