Nuanced Metals II

Christopher Tyler Jun, 6th 2011 2 Comments

Here is a tutorial on how to improve the realism of metals (and other similar materials). Compare the left and right images. Which looks more real? The right you probably say and would be right. The way light reflects off the surface is more correct. This tutorial explains how to achieve this.

    hi chris,

    for the first video i get an error and it won’t load. the error is: “content/uploads/2011/06/cx043-Edge_to_100%_II.mov” beneath a triangle with an exclamation point inside. i presume this is the file the media player is trying to access, but it’s having trouble.

    thanks,

    -tom
