…Metals are easy to make in mental ray and…they can really add a terrific luster to the scene.…So far what I've done is put my black gloss paint on all my steel work.…All my walls and ceilings, except for under the bridge, are white.…And the bridge has wood under it.…Now I'm ready to get metals going.…And I need a couple of different metals in here.…I'd like to have a satin finish metal for the door handles and can light fixtures.…And a metallic paint, or something close to an…anodized surface for the window frames on the right side.…Additionally, for the threshold on the front door and the…bolts are caps that hold the glass panel railings on.…
I am going to use a chrome, I will pull up my hyper…shade and make my metals and then get in and start assigning them.…When I am forming materials, I will often get them all together in…the hyper shade, this way I can see all the materials, Idealized on…their sample spheres next to each other, and I can balance out their…colors and make sure they really work…together before they are assigned all over.…
