Ok, I'm a big fan of Eric Winemiller's plugins since he wrote Tiles waaaay back in the day.... But I just don't get the Anisotropic highlights in ShadersPlus. I've tried it with various metal shaders and I don't think I'm seeing any results. Should the reflection channel be at 0%? What is an ideal metal for this effect, and when should it be used? I've seen the sample images in the DCG gallery. The silk top is very cool, but I'd be happy just to get the brushed metal machine-part look. holly
