Hi every1

I'm new to this forum, and i'd like your help on some troubling issue I canme across:
Does any1 here have a reliable method for creating GOLD. I don't nean gold text, but (for example) gold sphere, or gold medal? coin?
The only way I manage 2 get it is by playing with the Hue/Sat, and it does not work good for the sphere, or other streamlined shapes.
HELP PLEASE...

BAW

HSL is where to make it gold but things like spheres need preparation first. They have to have a gradient type fill or a lighting effect applied to even appear to be a sphere.....

here is a pretty good tutorial on creating a gold pipe:

you'll see what I mean about the lighting effect.

1st, thanx 4 the reply.
I'm aware of the lighting effects + gaussian blur. But i find it hard to get the real gold "shine"... I get there, but with a lot of T&E and I can never get it to work the same on different objects.
I wonder if there is any general technique to get the effect..
:-)

Well the best method ya can achieve gold effects thru is via the KPT 6 tool. It rocks and if ya learn it well, you'll be able to make your own kind of gold, silver, bronze medal or whatever..........
