hi everyone

Just wondering if anyone could tell me the easiest way to go about making a hardwood floor texture for a basketball court. I want it to look semi photorealistic with a nice gloss over it. the final render will be really close to the floor. If i made the floor in photoshop how could i make it have nice gloss to it in the final render, Or is there a different way i should be going about this?

Which renderer are you using?

For the most realistic result you should try a blurred raytraced reflection. It takes ages to render, but it is exactly the effect you see in real life.

im rendering with mental ray,

so snapshot the uv, make the texture in photoshop, bring it back into maya and use a blurred raytrace reflection?
