Chrome

[DarkSun]

Ok textures in 3d ain't my area. I was wandering if someone can maybe explain or point me to a tutorial or such to create chrome or liquid metal. And since i have version 6 i cannot use SLA.

 

Thanks,

if you have rel 6.3 or above you can use SLA .

 

 

try some deepshaders - http://www.maxon.de/deepshade/shader/shaders/mineral/ix_min1.html

Actually i have Cinema 4D CE, and i am waiting for the CE+ upgrade.

So SLA will not work.

Basic Recipe for chrome:

Colour: Greyish biege, Brightness 20

Refliction: 85

Enviornment: add a map and set to 20 with multiply

Specular: Plastic, width 75, height 100, falloff -20, inner width 10

 

That should get you started. I would add a little blur to the environment map as well.

try some deepshaders -

Is that where you got your great water--or was that your own recipe?

which image of mine you talking about? i usually make my own. any materials you like i can always post up

 

i rarely use deepshade these days unless im in a mad rush as i find it a tad too amaturish.

Thanks Frosty, i shall give that a try.
