Description Here's an old tutorial that I created a long time ago on how to create bullet metal which I'm reposting for Learnuary.

One of my favorite things to create are metallic objects that reflect the world around them.


I don't state my brush setting on this tutorial because I have them stated in another one, but I'll tell them to you now(photoshop 7.0)

Make sure you go to you BRUSH PRESETS and check "Other Dynamics". then click on other dynamics to get more options. Make sure that "opacity Jitter" is set to Pen pressure. This will allow your tablet to have the soft pressure touch that you want it to have. Also I set my brushes with a little "shape dynamics". "minimum Diameter" set to about 60% to 100%.

For smooth blends, sets your brush hardness all the way to 0% hardness, and move the spacing to 30%. this will give you a nice smooth blend brush.

I guess rendering and creating a model would be less work than this ^^ But from what it looks like in the end... it could match a render i guess ... Pretty good work
