It's looking nice... Can you tell the beginners [including me] - how did you "invent" this nice effect of car body [I mean the material]? It's very nice... :]

Thanks for comments.

And there is how I created that material:

1. Change material type from Blinn to Anisotropic.



2. Change material Specular Level to 50, Glossiness to 20 and Refl. Level to 1,0. You can change the Diffuse color to color, that you need.



3. Now change material Reflection map into any bitman, that you want to reflect. And change the Amount to 30.



4. Now about practice. If you apply this material to a simple box, you will get something like this:



5. But if you add MeshSmooth modifier, you will get very nice material:



6. You can get vary nice colors by changing the Diffuse color:



Whu. Finished. :)
