I cant quite get the material to look metallic enough…any tips?
This is also the first time I’ve done UV mapping. ( text textures done in Gimp )
I know there are still things needed to be tweaked, but I think I’ll call it done for now.
Anything on black metalic shaders and UV textureing would be great. I’ll be sure to remember it on my next project.

C&C welcome for sure.
not bad at all, but it looks like you could lower the filter value on the textures a little, and add a slight bump map to the black material, which would give it some depth, along with slightly more specularity, i think.
Nice picture, I don’t think that specularity is the prob here, but color itself, I think you should darken it more.
Anyway, if you keep playing with these values may be you’ll find the best texture.
hey thats good, but I would say its almost there
you have to work a little on the lighting, and maybe you can add a little caustics ?
As traitor mentioned about the filter values, you can add noise tex + nor that would give a nice grainy feel that lenses have in some areas.
keep it up
Nice work at all, with some improvements you could achieve a photorealistic scene, this version let me think to some presentation flyers.
Don’t you listen to them. It’s fantastic. Congratulations.
The black itself looks very real.
I only have a modern Sigma lens and a bunch of older Nikon lenses.
So I have to judge this one from my Sigma lens.
The metallic doesn’t look very shiny, but if necessary you can change that in post-pro.

ohhhhh nice
