    Unhappy Brushed Aluminum

    Ive downloaded the Mr .mat library brushed aluminum. Whats weird is that I can see the aluminum in the material browser, but when applied to an object and rendered it comes out like in this image. Is it an exposure problem?

    Re: Brushed Aluminum

    It would help to know what version of Max you are using and your render settings. Plus what else is in the scene, ie what is the material reflecting?
    Do you see the material in the perspective view ok? If the other materials are rendering fine I doubt it is an exposure problem.

    Re: Brushed Aluminum

    I posted an update, but it looks like the forum moderator didnt let my reply go through yet. I am using Max 2012. Maybe theirs a compatibility issue. I found that Max 2012 built in Autodesk material brushed aluminum does just great.

    That could be, I have 2011, not sure what they changed in 2012.
    As long as you got it to work that's the main thing.

    We require 5 post before you can post links, otherwise Spam, nokia phone salesman and porn sites would make up 90% of our post. We have better things to do than spend all day deleting post and bot members, hope you understand. I do believe though that new code wasn't showing your post at all, in the past it only blocked the link, hope we got it fixed.

    Your metal looks great!
