Create Photorealistic Brushed Metal in 3DS Max with V-Ray | Quick Archviz Metals Tutorial

In this 3DS Max and V-Ray tutorial, I show you how to create photorealistic brushed metal materials for architectural visualization and CGI projects. This tutorial covers two approaches: using V-Ray falloff and achieving similar results without it, giving you flexibility depending on your workflow.

You’ll learn:

• How to create a realistic brushed metal shader in V-Ray

• How falloff maps can enhance metal realism

• Alternative methods to achieve the same look without falloff

• Tips for adjusting reflection, glossiness, and texture orientation for photorealistic results

This technique is perfect for metal surfaces in interiors, furniture, appliances, or decorative elements in your archviz and CGI projects.
