        Hi John and welcome!

        What do you mean by "rendered"? Did you use a third party, photorealistic rendering package? If yes, which one?

        If not, SU cannot really add a metallic "effect" to materials.

          Thanks!
          I am using Vray for SU, and give the copper texture and rendered. Unfortunately it didn't give the effect of copper.
          Is there any setting in Vray that I can use to get this effect?

          Thanks once again!

            I don't know, I do not use V-ray. We have a V-ray subforum though so I am moving your topic there.

              Lots of materials on the ASGVis's site.

                Copper can be seen as dull black to bright green blue or highly polished golden brown, even pink.

                I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                  Hi thomthom,

                  I did download those vismat materials you mentioned. But I don't know how to apply those materials in vray for SU.
                  When I applied material texture, it's only taking jpegs and not vismats. am a newbie in vray, sorry about t hat.

                  Thanks.

                    You must use the V-Ray material editor to load the vismat.
