I need some help on metal textures.

Cazzie

SOH-CM-2024
I have done a Blue Angels skin for Rob Richardson's F9F Cougar. Everything is done, except there is no spec texture found anywhere in the package. there are bump maps for the fuselage and wings, but no spec textures for either. I tried to use my normal gray base and alpha for polished metal, but it is all nothing but a shiny gray. I also did the \metal in a faux metal texture, which looks better, but still no polished metal look that I want. I have Model Converter X. but it is all Greek to me, I have no idea how to used it. Is there any way through the MDX program to get a spectral color that will make the metal shone? If Rob is reading this, the model needs a spec texture, I can go from there. Images show gray without any spec and my faux metal. Once I get this done, it'll be sent up here.

Thanks for any help,
Caz
