This was supposed to be a post on how I adapted a nice Rendo freebie, which came as OBP, 3DS and OBJ+MTL. <br /> <br /> <a class="post-url" href="https://www.renderosity.com/freestuff/items/89317/psyche" target="_blank">https://www.renderosity.com/freestuff/items/89317/psyche</a> <br /> <br /> Instead, it fell down a rabbit-hole in search of fabled 'metallicity' for the mirror material. After help from Rendo forum, I got there. But I don't really understand 'how', certainly not 'why'. And, given a hapless detour into texture mapping has left me with ten (10) OBJ files of differing degrees of 'not quite right', I'll have to start over... <br /> <br /> So, after I've figured reliable route, shifted an IP-CAM CCTV to a better position for watching patio door etc etc, I'll be back...

Hi there Nik <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/JC_howdy.gif" alt="" /> ! <br /> <br /> I don't quite understand <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" /> ... I think it looks stunning, a good reflection render <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" /> ! <br /> <br /> What aspect of it are you not quite happy with yet <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/wink.gif" alt="" /> ?

I did not know anything about P11's 'material nodes', what they did or even where they were. Certainly not how to use them. <br /> <br /> This time was sorta 'Beginners Luck'. Until I've some idea how to get 'metallicity' to work as reliably as, say, 'super-ambient lights', I will not be happy... <br /> <br /> Part of problem is a lot of ported and budget models come with 'metallicity' maps. To enhance bare metals' 'gleam'. Unless I've totally misread info, those maps cannot be used as-is, if at all, by the 'metallicity' function. It cannot load them. So, I'm missing something important. { Sulk...}
