How can I get the look of a shiny metal sphere (aka pinball)

I’m not making a pinball game, nonetheless I require shiny metal spheres!

How can I achieve this look on the iPhone, does anyone have any suggestion for me to give to my artist that incorporate the limitations of the iPhone shader-wise?

I’m just looking for something that makes it look like a metal ball and so when the camera’s straight on it looks more like a sphere than a circle.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Someone on here had made a spherical reflection map shader… Do a search for it :slight_smile:

I think you might mean cgoran’s glass shader.

He describes how to very easily tweak it to look like metal too, so it should do the job. I haven’t used it, but it looks the part!

Here’s an updated “Roll-a-Ball” Unity iPhone project that has a shiny metal ball material.

Thanks a lot guys, I’ll try both these out and see which works. Much appreciated.
