Thanks man
Yea, I use a texture for the chrome shader. Old hydraulics tend to be a bit dark and gritty I think. I'm using 9pics 2000x2000 pixels and around 15pics 500x500 pixels, so it gets a bit slow inside Ac3d, but I usually just resize the big textures down to 500x500 when starting on a new texture, so its not actually a problem
