James, Metal shading is VERY dependent on lighting. Check out SHINY.3ds (or was it GOLD.3ds ?) anyway the one with the text "3DS" (sorry I'm not at my Studio computer) and experiment with the lighting. It is wonderful as it sits, but if you move around the lights you can quickly detroy the effect…you can learn alot that way! -Ralph
