Dennis: I use an aluminum that is really a metal shaded light gray with a reflection map. I'm still not completely satisfied with it, but it looks OK. I'm sure that you've noticed that different "shiny silver" metals look different – the main difference being the exact color of gray that makes up their base color. I've really been amazed at how even a slight reflection map does wonders for the metallic quality of a material. What I need is a really good floor tile that shows the irregular bright shiny reflections that you get because real time isn't flat! <g> Chris – Chris Johnston, Written 06-Jan-1995 @ 23:53:14 Using: Windows NavCIS PRO 1.25
