Gang, I need help with getting a lathe effect on flat or circular primitives.  What I'm trying to do is simulate a sheet metal effect.  In 3D World magazine, they use Anisotropic to get the effect.  If I give a box a slight curve and apply the node, its partially successful.  However, I want to do it on a flat surface (I'm building a virtual radio system face plate and control knobs etc). As anyone been successful at getting this machine milling effect?  Plutom

This pocket watch is part of a tutorial done by Adam Benton, a freelance illustrator using Cinema 4D for 3D World Magazine issue 96. I want to try some of the effects using Poser 5.- The anisotropic effects is the first-but done on a flat surface if possible.

Yep, that's it.  Strange, in the texture shaded mode, I have it.  However, after it is rendered in the Production mode, it disappears unless I bend it via magnet.

Another tip I'd offer to you for lathed metal would be to head on over o runtimedna, and look in the node cult forum... bagginsbill worked out a procedural metal effect there which works quite nicely... let me find the link for you:

I just looked at it, and it's more focused on brshed metal than lathed, so it may not be the final effect yo're looking for... but still, the node cult is a good place to look for procedural solutions like this.

Thanks guys, you help me resolve my problem.  I had a combination of problems including the ye olde problem of Poser functions shutting down.  When I came back this morning and brought my system back on line--I got everything.  Did down load Bagginsbill's info from runtimedna.com-now I need to digest that info.  Again folks, you helped me a lot.  Still need to add some fancy art work to the face plate via PSP.  Plutom
