How to do the effect 1. Save a smallish (128x128 pixels) version of your background image
into a PICT file (on Macintosh) or BMP file (on Windows). 2. Within SuperBladePro, click on the environment graphic, and
use the file chooser to load in your small background image. 3. For a plain metal reflection, set the Reflection slider to
100 and Glassiness to zero. For a glassier look, set the Reflection slider to about 80 and
Glassiness to 75, and the the Caustic to about 50. 4. Adjust the bevel shape and height, and the texture height,
until the reflection looks right. More tutorials |
