X5 raytrace stainless steel kitchen appliances. Texture and settings needed.

[Gene Davis]

I have done searches and cannot land on any good threads for this topic.

Any help is appreciated. I have the usual problems. Appliances look black, or reflect too much, or get tiled because I don't know what to do, etc.

Gene, there is a thorough thread I started that discusses this fully check out X5 vs thea. Good luck!

Heres the link...

Thanks, Chad. I studied the thread's pertinent posts, used a brushed SS texture from a Chiefer (thanks, Jintu!) and got pretty good results.

Good job Gene! Im glad the information on there helped you out, it sure helped me!

How did you get this stainless look? Did you manipulate a material or how did you "get" it from someone else??

Go and read the thread referenced above. Find the .jpg texture file someone, I think it was Jintu, posted. It is titled "hairline." That is the texture image I used.
