Thing is... I'm not sure how to use it properly. It says it will look like it should when properly lit. Is it also in the way I render it?
What I did was, I assigned the objects I needed to have that kind of texture and assigned it to the material (polished platinum). But when lit (I used ambient light), it just looked kind of like a regular blinn.
How can I make it look like the platinum that is shown in the picture at that URL I posted?
Thank you!

(I've never used anisotropics before so I'm not really sure what it's for)
So what I did was, I took the anisotropic called polished platinum and applied it to a sphere. As you mentioned last time, I should have reflections on it, so I tried that, even though the polished platinum picture above doesn't really seem to have any reflections except for lights.
I used mental ray and added an HDR image to the environment. This is the result I got:
As you can see, it looks kind of like a black pearl. Then I added an ambient light and got this:
While it does look pretty, it's just not the same as the effect that I want, which is the top ring of the first picture above. Right now it looks like a really smooth grey pearl.
Just to try it out, I rendered it this time with Maya Software. This is what I got:
Well, as you can see, it looks kind of like a regular blinn.
As was stated from the page where the shader comes from (https://www.highend3d.com/maya/downlo...inum-1690.html), it seems to be that the lighting is key to making it look like it should. But I just can't figure it out.
Does anyone know how I can get these shaders to look the way the picture shows it to be?
Thank you!
