Cycle in Blender... i see it in the script list as installed but nowhere else.. do i have to do anything to see and use it or should it actually be there?

Forget it I just found that i had to activate it in the top header

You can't bake textures for cycles though

So anything you do in it will just be in the render

ah that's good to know.. why does nothing of this stuff bake? that's stupid lol

What kind of metal is it that you were wanting to make? I can try and find you some good tutorials?

I want to make gold and silver and it's really difficult since it looks all like plastic in the end to me

I'll have a look and figure something out

Thank you

Try the repository of materials for blender here: matrep.parastudios.de/ not sure if it will help with this, but it's a good resource

Cyclic : Was just wondering if you had a chance to check on it for me yet. I have been trying to find something myself but no such luck

I'm experimenting in ndoes to see if I can get something sorted cause I want to do a nice metallic texture for these shoes - I'll be working on it some tonight

yay!
