FranOnTheEdge, Ive been playing around with creating galvanize material in the Bryce DTE and I think Ive got something going here that you might be interested in. Dont hesitate to tweak the settings. In the Bryce metals library I selected Christmas Ball #15 since the red speckles closely resembles the galvanization speckles on galvanized steel. I then proceeded to alter and tweak the material to satisfaction. First I changed the colors of the ball to shades of gray. Then I changed the material type in the noise filter from RND Lines to Voronoi ID1 and resized the speckles by altering the frequencies. This then becomes the base metal texture. Created a brush steel bump map in Photoshop to bring out the brush steel striations with independent control over the bump height. To meet Rendo specs I needed to optimize the image so quality is reduced.
