low reflection ... how? [SOLVED]

Post by Auradrummer »

Hello guys,

I'm making a scene with a metal reflecting an image.
The problem that is the metal is painted and the reflection make it like a mirror.

I want the object less reflexive, so I can see the texture of the metal.

How can I do it?

IIRC, the alpha material of one of the textures defines how much of the second layer shines through.

Hello master,

Humm... I'm making it with OpenGL, and alpha channels made no difference. What solves my problem is rise the brightness of the texture. White aren't reflected. So, more white, less reflexive.

Thanks!

Well, white is probably saturating, so you don't see the reflection then. Which material do you use?
