Hi all,
I am trying to create a stainless steel aspect in V-Ray like this one :

Does anyone has a good shader setting by chance ?
Thanks in advance :) |

without anisotropy I don't make you much hope to create a similar effect for the reflection. Otherwise you need just a high reflection and a proper ior and a nice texture for some bump brushes or alike if the surface should get some irregularity to get something like that

Also, a key to getting these nice and shiny renders is - give it something to reflect. Use some bright white "reflector cards" above the object & behind the camera. This makes all the difference in the world. |

I don't thnk this is quite what you're after as far as the shader goes but I wanted to illustrate the difference a reflector makes in getting a shiny look on an object. (tS 6.6) |

100% agree with Frank... the stainless Steel must have something to reflect..
I try to recreate the scene..
3933
I use the Glossy Shader and a box behind to make something to reflect..
3932
And this is the Ts7.11 scene with the objects and the shader settings ready to use over Vray..
Free for the mases... :banana:
BTW!!! i see your picture and it have DOF.. thats why my render looks more sharp than the reality.. |

I tried your Glossy shader settings Prodigy. It works pretty well!
Thanks for the comments Frank. You are right, we should use the real life photography technics !
My mistake was to make my shader experiments in an empty scene -and of course the faucet (my dictionary says faucet, I thought it was tap?) always looked grey !-
Thanks again guys :) |

Tap works for me, but I think it is a UK thing. In the US they tend to say faucet all the time, that I've noticed :) To me faucet sounds like trying to be posh ("Keeping Up Appearances" anyone?)
HTH!

In southern MS they are sometimes called spigots. [spih-gut] |

The term 'valve' works for me. Taps are used to create internal threads. ;) |

Would Hyacinth pronounce it "Faw-Say"?
I turn on the tap, but I drink from the faucet.
The spigot is outside, and is also known as a hosebib.
The garden hose attaches to it.
You can fill bouquets, uh, buckets with it.
