I've been playing around with four new metallic curves for simuating chrome or any other metal for that matter. The symbols I used for the pic are actually from a font called Robofan. I did the basic gradient/blur/bump on each one as a separate layer in the first pic, then applied the curves so you could see the results in the second pic. The screenshots of the four curves are in the attached zip file.

Top left is the one I call Super Chrome
Top right is High Chrome
Bottom left is Test Chrome (maybe you can suggest a better name)
Bottom right is Brushed Chrome

Hope you get some use out of these.

Thanks Drac. I'll make good use of those.

I made these curves into curve files (basically text files) so you can load them into the curve editor directly

Mediafire doesn't seem to like me. Either the server's down or they don't like anti-tracking software.

had to use FF to upload to G Drive. seems there's problems with Opera

Thanks Drac. May try these later.

edit: Thanks to you too Cecilia for converting the graphics to actual curves.

Thank you both.

You're welcome everyone and thanks Cecelia for converting them for me. I guess I should have done that....duh.

Erisian - Here's the zip file.

I just saw an opportunity to help out and took it.

my pleasure

Thank you both for these.
