Material library / stainless steel

Material library / stainless steel

Im a new cheetah user and not very experienced in creating materials. Im looking for a good stainless steel material and other metals or glass. My experiments with the material settings were not very successfull. Is there maybe something like a public material library for cheetah? The materials in the material browser don´t really cover all my needs, and learning to understand the effects of all the different settings would be easier if there were more examples.
I would appreciate any help

Thanks,
Susanne

Enjoy Cheetah3D !
 
With anything reflective you need to both look at the material and the scene/lighting setup. The "cute car" example should be fairly useful (but note that you may need to fiddle with the HDRI tag (reload the .HDR image) to make it render correctly.

The 25 Free Textures files have a "steel" and a "chrome" texture. Stainless steel should be pretty much the average of the two :)

Thank You very much Francois and podperson. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Cheetah is starting to be real fun! But I still have a lot to learn. This is a great help forum.

Cheers,
Susanne :p
