Hi Liam,
Could you teach me a little bit about "How did you approach the Surface of the metal?" I only got the "metal dialog" only when I clicked into the material graph bar. Do I need to create another surface and apply on the metal piece? thanks

instant sub

cool

[@quadhd1121]

Please Help?! I don't have the option for heated metal- geometry , label when I open material graph
Just a polished aluminum

Adding little smoke effect more realistic

Awesome tutor. I get only first easier part. - It is hard to set "advanced" metal look as you did.

[@feralferret]

Great demo, however there is no reflection of the glow on the floor. Any idea how to add that property? The molten metal should be acting like an area light, lighting up the floor and everything around it. I think that may be one of the shortfalls of the Emissive material type, despite its name. However an Area Light material type is considerably less customisable, it's not able to be used in the same way.

[@LiamMartinTutorials]

You're right, I always consider area lights as high power sources and emissive as low (screens, LEDs etc). If you want to get Illumination on the floor, you duplicate the geometry, use an area light on the duplicate, have it only project light out the front of the geometry, and make the material invisible to camera.

[@LinYu-888]

Where did you download the metal maps you used?

[@LiamMartinTutorials]

CG Axis. They do some good deals on texture packs, I don't think they're the best but very good value

[@LinYu-888]

@@LiamMartinTutorials Thank you!

[@leonardo_gonzaga]

how you do this ground?

[@LiamMartinTutorials]

PBR material . From CGAxis I believe.

[@vadsura]

why is there a shadow on the floor from the hot part? It does not look realistic.

[@itsbilalmn]

In your opinion how should it looks?

[@itsbilalmn]

I mean for realistic look

[@vadsura]

@@itsbilalmn red-hot iron should half-light the floor, the shadow from another source should not be here. it seems to me.

[@Modelling_Studio_Hub]

Remove shadow below glowing area
