HEEEEEEELP... Twinkles!

[Katachi]

Twinkle twinkle little star, have you seen what the highlights videopost effects are? :)

I would try using a material with a hard, small noise in the bump channel and a very high/tight specular. But if you have a pic of what he's aiming for that would be good.

Hi all

I'm doing a Trophy illustration. The client wants lots of twinkles (small lights) reflected in the material.

I'm having difficulty achieving this, I suppose I need very small area lights with no illumination, but to appear in the reflective material.

Any ideas

Cheers

I tried that, but couldn't get a very nice look. Granted I only tried for about 20 minutes....
