How to create a scratched stainless steel texture Jan. 3, 2006, 1:34 p.m.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the tips!

How to create a scratched stainless steel texture Jan. 3, 2006, 4:40 a.m.

Hi there,

I'm trying to create a stainless steel texture as per the attached jpeg. But I just don't seem to be able to get my head around how to do it. Could anyone, kindly, offer me some suggestions? I'd like to do it procedurally if possible.

TIA

surfsect woes Feb. 23, 2004, 10:36 a.m.

Hi,

I have created a complex mirrored nurbs object (car body). I then added a floorpan using a nurbs grid and surfsect sop. From the resulting closed shape, I am now trying to subtract a nurbs tube using surfsect (like a wheel arch running across the entire body). The inner half of the tube works fine cutting through the entire floor pan. Unfortunately, it only cuts through one side of the body wall but doesn't for the other (mirrored) half. I think this may be to do with the point normals pointing the wrong way – even though I have selected reverse in the mirror sop. I tried everything and cannot figure out an answer. Any ideas of where I'm going wrong would be gratefully appreciated.
