![]() © Twilight Render 2010 by: Twilight Render A scratch map looks something like this: To create a Zinc metal using the Brushed Metal Template Apply the Brushed Metal Template>Aluminum, set the Color to 90% grey, set Shininess to 15. Be sure to add a scratch map to your bump texture (create a seamless scratch map using an external photo editor, or download a great one for free from the Twilight Render forum.) This will give a more realistic looking Brushed Metal because the scratch look is not added automatically. For instance, use this method (without Click-3) to create ceramic tiles by combining a SketchUp Ceramic Tile Material with a Twilight Ceramic Template, or create concrete by combining SketchUp's Concrete material with the Rough Stone Template, or SketchUp's Wood Flooring by combining it with the Shiny Plastic Template. This material will continue to remain physically accurate (obey the laws of physics). You can also add a color to the reflection channel to create other types of metal. Now the SketchUp image is driving the bump instead of the color.Īdjust the metal color further by changing it in the color channel, change the shininess to 20 to make it even more 'brushed' and matte-looking. To do this after applying the Brushed Metal Template>Aluminum to the “Cladding_Siding_White” SketchUp Texture:Ĭlick the Chain Link Button to break the link of the SketchUp Texture Image to the Material Color Channel.Ĭlick the Chain Link Button to enable the link of the SketchUp Texture Image to the Bump Channel.Ĭlick the Texture pull-down menu choice in the Material Color Channel and choose “Color” to remove the texture completely from the Color Channel. The key with many Templates is to use the SketchUp texture only in the bump channel. Progressive render settings will bring best results. Look also to the “Alternative_AA” methods in the Express>Advanced Render Settings folder. Using an Easy Render Setting with a “+” sign will bring nice results. Remember that metals will look great in Twilight, but require high render quality and may take a long time to render nicely. ![]() Aluminum, or other brushed look metals can be based on these Templates. ![]() Looking for a brushed stainless steel?
