Metal on a black background - Polyloop

multiplex · 22nd November 2006, 22:23

Hello,
I'm new to using Carrara Pro 5. I want to shade a metal logo over a black background, so I suppose I'll have to fake the environmental reflection.
I'm new to using shaders and the docs make me scratch my head alot.

Please take a moment to point me in the right direction.

Thanks!!!
Richard H

Hi Richard,

Here's a good tidbit to know about Carrara. The backdrop and reflected background can be two different things. Click on the image and check out the settings.
