Does anyone have a nice brushed aluminum texture-map (with that brushed effect – aka striations) which I could have/purchase. I have the imagecels vol 1 & 2 which have everything but this kind of seamless texture, of course. It would be nice also if it could be seamless/tileable. If any kind soul can help my email number is 70303,456. Muchas Gracias, Vielen Dank, Merci beaucoup ……

its easy…….. just think or look at an object that is aluminium and then dup it in tips or whatever you have as a paint pac. if you want the nitty gritty then call me at 805 6502542 and i will tell you the secret in producing gold and silver maps in 3ds that look like chrome or gold. although there pretty easy to create if you LOOK at a piece of silver or gold! anyway ….. please call … because it was frustrating for me to at first. … sherwood

Thanks for the suggestion. I had tried painting it in AAPro and temporarily given up. However, after your suggestion and the fact that nobody else offered me a simple way out, I tried again and came up with a nice painted texture which I thought was OK and the client loved.
