You can play with the values in Photoshop, and of course try different materials in order to achive different effects.

Just a question. What is the difference between Opacity and Fill in Photoshop?

Opacity controls how much the layer is going to be seen and fill controls the blending effect itensity.

btw: sorry for my english :confused:

Thanks for this tutorial. it helped me understand multi pass redering better, but I have a small issue.
I am using GIMP (as I cannot afford PS for some time yet) and I cannot see a FILL setting. There is only the soft light setting and transparencey setting. I seem to be getting a kind of metalic look to my models when using this method. I used the demo head tool with the sculpy material and then layered all the passes as you said, but without the fill level set as I could not see this in GIMP.
Is there an alternative to this fill setting? or am I looking in the wrong place if anyone else uses GIMP?

Start:

Finish, with the tutorials method other than fill setting (as not in GIMP), a bit too matalic?
