Quote - thanks for the reply. Since I don't know how to do materials in Luxrender, I Googled :)
I found this Black Leather material, woohoo! Just what I needed. Problem for me is figuring out now how to apply it to the material zones I want it on. Back to Google!
The easiest thing to to is to simply use Glossy with a solid color, like dark grey for black leather. Use a rather high (30,30,30) specular color, pretty low glossiness (~ 4000-5000) and a pretty high bump map. You will get a pretty good result. Then tweak specular/glossiness/bump until happy.
Hope this helps.
