Hello, people!
Can anyone help me out please?
I need to create (or download) a shader which will look like this hookah's steel body... I couldn't manage to get it look any good :surprised

I'd appreciate any help on the subject... thanks a lot! :thumbsup:

Here a pic of the hookah, the shader should look like its steel body. (or is it iron, or silver....?)

There is a silver shader on http://www.highend3d.com/maya/shaders that should do the job.

I'd use the crhome shader that's posted on highend3d.com as tomb pointed out, but I don't know if you noticed the nuances of the surface, its a dusty surface and it had blurred reflections, so you might wantto take that into consideration.

Shaders only do half the job.

I've tried the chrome shader, but I didn't like the outcome (see attachment)...

I also tried the silver shader they have there, it looked very promising in THEIR pic, but when I rendered it had black lines on it for some reason... any idea why that happened?

Just add a bump map and the chrome will look fine.
