Brushed Metal Test

[Donald2B]

marc: I finally figured out what the problem was. I am not using any lights in these scenes, just default lighting. If I put any light into the scene then everything is just fine. Just my ignorance.

the other way to do it is to uncheck the default lighting when rendering DR. This way youll get consistent looking buckets across your computers.

hehe.. I know the problem. But that only happens once and then never again
jujubee is right; uncheck the default lights in global switches is the safe way. I do so in every scene

Here is my try on brushed metal. I used archihdr.hdr for reflection and some omni lights for custom highlights. Glossy reflections were also used and some anisotropy and some bitmap in bump slot with huge tiling (like 60/0,05)






I'd like to ask Vlado here to include enviroment override for reflections and refractions separately for enviroment and if possible for materials too. I had some problems with glass (I wanted glass to reflect actual enviroment with HDRI map, but for refractions I wanted to use pure white background color). So I had to render once with white enviroment override background and once with HDRI map and then composit this two renders in Photoshop. And please, please include speculars/highlights too
