[ continuation ] will have a marble-like quality. ——————————————— Hope these tips were usefull, play around with the params to further tweak these two textures…you'd be surprised what can be done. -GreG Here's something that I found very usefull and use very often. The new CNDAPPLE texture is GREAT for giving the appearance of a metalic finish. Take any mechanical object, plane, ship, gear, car, tank, robot, etc. and apply the Candy Apple texture to the main group axis and click on Apply to Group in the texture dialogue box. It's that simple. I use it on an Exoskeletal armored suit. The suit's color is pure white. All RGB guns are set to 255 and I apply this texture. The result is a stainless steel finish. This trick is great when you need that metallic look but don't need any reflections. It saves a great deal of time rendering to boot. GreG Blaq!
