Enginz-01 Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I think if you use the metal shader and add some raytrace around 15 you should get the reflectance of the stainless steel. You can work out a specular map with some circular streak movement. I have not tried yet stainless steel on column. Good luck. Raytrace only at the end of your project.

Enginz-01 Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 To give the idea of stailess steel your should add sheet joints and exposed fastener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 foxlee, Who is "this guy" and where did you get the mat library? Does "this guy" have a website? I'm impressed with his mats, and would like to see more of his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
