Seeking Help For Making Metallic Shaders In DAZ Studio.

Nautious

Tell you what I'm trying to do.

I'm trying to make metallic shaders in the Shader Mixer in DAZ Studio. I'm not certain how to do this. I am new to the Shader Mixer. I'm beginning to understand the Basics, but I'm still confused. Can you help me please?

To elaborate on what I'm trying to do, is DAZ Studio the best application for making metallic shaders? I also want to use Custom Colours. How do I import these into DAZ Studio? Or can you import Custom Colours into DAZ Studio? All help is greatly appreciated.:-)

One thing to be careful of in Studio is that if you're using real reflections and not environment reflection maps, your metals will look black come render time without something behind the camera to reflect.

..if you are using an IBL environment sphere or a skydome, you can apply that as a reflection map.
