Color 256 for Black Rubber was suggested by John VanZwieten
one year ago, see eg. http://www.lugnet.com/cad/?n=2069
I haven't received any suggestions for the POV setting for rubber,
so I just turned off reflection.
I announced the special treatment of color 256 three weeks ago:
http://www.lugnet.com/announce/?n=647 (a small note though :-)
I'm not too satisfied with my chrome POV setting.
If anybody has a good one, please let me know.
Also I would like settings for gold, and the new silver.
How does silver look compared to chrome?
Does TLG use another technique for manufacturing?
And I don't think there ever was a conclusion of the
smoke colored cockpit color see http://www.lugnet.com/cad/dev/?n=4530
I don't know what edgecolors should be used for colors 256-511,
nor for 0x2000000-0x7FFFFFF

| (...) Silver looks more like brushed aluminum. (...) I think so -- it appears that the new silver is actually the color of the plastic, not a post-molding layer that's plated onto the parts. (...) suggestions being trans-black, 32, or trans-dark (...) (26 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
