I am new to creating materials. I want to create a good aluminum procedural material for mental ray. The look I’m going for? Pretend that an aluminum can has no printing on it.
Any advice? I am stiking out on my own!
TIA!!

Hi Dean,
Try A&D. The new one that comes with MAX 2008 has been improved a lot.
You can even view your lighting in viewport which is nice to anticipate your settings.

Semicolon,
Thanks for the reply. I am aware that that is probably the “base” I should use to start the material. However...I am very inexperienced in creating materials from scratch.
Any details as to ho to approach it would be great!
