Bronze texture
 

Hello

I've never been crazy about LW's metal preset shaders. Can anyone recommend a good tutorial for a realistic bronze (or any metal) surface? Perhaps using nodes.

Thanks

Have you checked out the shiny metal objects tutorial here? Can't remember the exact workflow that was used, but I remember thinking that I learned a lot from it.

Here's the page:

Sorry, it's now called, "Lighting and Texturing for Photorealistic Metals". I've been here too long! ;-)

Thanks, leroy3rd!

:-D Glad to help.
