Everyone seems so cool about answering my questions that I want to post another (free advice is hard to find <g>). I'm trying to create a good looking brass material, but am stuck. Everything I make comes out too gold. I can't get a feel for brass – kinda gold, but tarnished, very shiney, with all kinds of white highlites. That's what I'm thinking of but I hate how it turns out. Does anyone have a favorite brass that they'd be willing to share the recipe to? Hey, that's an idea – a 3D Studio recipe book – "125 parts red, 104 parts blue, just a smidge of green. Add 3/4 parts self-illumination, stir in one 'brick' bmp texture map, 75% dilluted, or you'll throw the tenderness off…" Something like that (don't try to mix this one – it means nothing!) Oh well, another idea…. Thanks! James
