Getting highlights, reflections on a surface?
-
hey again, quick question:
I am making a sofa table, and I want the material to be shiny, laquered (sp?) finish in some parts. How can I achieve this? -
Tobbe,
The realtime rendering engine of SU does not handle reflections. To do that would require realtime raytracing, and you would need almost a supercomputer to achieve that. You can either try postprocessing a SU-exported image in Photoshop or your favourite image-editing app, or then use a dedicated rendering application to add lights and material qualities SU is lacking. There are tons of threads and posts about rendering and rendering applications around these forums.
This, for instance, is a couple of threads earlier than your thread:
