No, not a shot — just an assessment of MY crappy skills.
If it looks great in Mat-Ed but bad when rendered, I suspect your lighting is
the problem. I've had a lot of great materials that looked so-so until I had
better lighting. Also… I know this is pretty obvious but you're not going to
get good brass effects with flat objects unless you're moving the camera
or lights — need to see those highlights. If you're literally have a "block"
then you may need to position your camera/lights just right to see the
highlights (I find that with flat objects you MUST have movement of the
object/lights/cameras to get good highlights).
Then again, I may not know what I'm talking about…
