[snaxs]

hello there.
i got this big problem that i can't figure out you see i am reading this tutorial on how to make metallic wires. here (http://www.phong.com/tutorials/wire/)

where this example of a really cool wire, that I want to learn for some of my sites.

the problem is. it doesn't look anything alike ive tried like 5 times already and i don't know what Im doing wrong so I hope someone can fix this problem
thanks
due to the extension of photoshop i can't attach the file so if someone would like the file just ask.

Can you not export the file as a low res jpeg or something?
If not, I will take a look at it...

just zip the .psd, and then you can upload it here...

The thing is that i want you to take a look at the .psd so you can see how it was done, and because it uses chanels and several filters it would be better if you looked at the hole thing.
so here it is.

[snaxs]

I did that tutorial many times before and never had a problem. I looked at your file and it appears that your render light is way off. In the tutorial there's 2 light sources, one is white and one is blue, did you follow the lighting steps correctly?

[snaxs]

mmm i really dont recall seeing in the tutorial anything about a blue ligth. but is that my only mistake ???
because it doesn't look anything alike jeje

[eyeinfinitude]

There's 2 light sources, how do you suppose the blue highlight got on there?

You should follow the intructions a bit more carefully.

Step 5

Go back to the Layers window, and select the Cut Wire layer.

Filter > Render > Lighting Effects...

Click on the image to the left to enlarge.

Create a white Directional light, and aim it down, from the top. Then, create a blue directional light, shining up, from the bottom.



Set the Properties to:
Gloss: 100 (Shiny)
Material: -100 (Plastic)
Exposure: 39
Ambience: -21

Set the Texture Channel onto Wire Bevel, and the height to 15.

Now, tweak the positioning and direction of the lights to achieve the desired effect.
