Pixel Joint Forum: Flat metal surface

Message

   Hey. Having a lil' difficulty here. I'm trying to pixel a flat metal door, but everything I come up with looks flat and dull.

Can you guys point me to some tutorials on shading flat metal surfaces?

	Thanks for the help, but do you know of any more? That one didn't really help me.

	Here are some metal related pieces which you could benefit from studying: 1 2 3 4 5 The last one will probably be most helpful to you since the surfaces are flat on it.

	Photo references may be more helpful than tutorials. Here's a few: http://www.forms-surfaces.com/products/doors/archmetal.htm http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/936802/2/istockphoto_936802_steel_door.jpg http://www.forms-surfaces.com/products/images/doors/archmetal/MEMD_09.jpg Edited by Morgan - 20 July 2006 at 6:53pm
