texturing

[LIGHTBEING]

question,

is there a way to tweak the gold, in the a.m. libraries to look like this picture?

 

i want to have the gold render with the lines in it like this picture, its more realistic looking,

or do i have to find a gold texture?

thx

One way to pull off what you want is the use that image you want as a projection map or image map. The proj map is a material attribute option where you can choose whatever image you like and adjust to your needs. The image itself and be applied to the geometry either buy decal or right clicking a group and choosing add image. but that's just one way.

i want verry fine lines in the gold, to make it look like real a real gold mask, useing a decal may not look right.

any ideas?

I don't know enough about materials to tell you how to do it, but you could experiment along the lines of:

 

Demon Skin

Wood Material with grain (complex)

 

These materials have bump lines in them.

 

Or, you could do a decal with bump mapping for the lines. You could also do a decal for reflectivity or specular maps.

I suggest you to try some type of simbiont´ shader.
