Simple, fast, "shiny metal" shader? - 05/17/07 05:45
Hello.
Iam very new to 3DGS, however Iam learning quickly. Not too great code-wise, but generally.
Anyways, Im great at modeling, and Im making this awsome guy in an armored suit, but he looks rather plain right now - not very metal like.
Ive been looking into shaders, and I get thier basic function: change the look of somthing in realtime.
Im looking for the the most simple, fast, yet great looking shader that will create some nice "shiny metal" for my armor, and 1. wont eat CPU, and 2. looks great and easy to use.
Ive looked/searched for this kinda thing, but Im so new I wouldnt have known if I found it.
...found a nice fur shader, though. Will DEFINANTLY use that. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif)
Thnx.
P.S. A nice first person shooter tutorial would be nice, too.
