Metal Mixer includes an Effects Tab, a Surface Tab, an Environment Tab and a Lighting Tab and like many of the DreamSuite effects, supports advanced features that allow you an infinite level of customization.
Metal Mixer can automatically fill your type or graphic with a mixture of metals and allows you to adjust the Fill Volume for precise control over the amount of the mixture. Once the metal is automatically filled you can manually adjust the mixture by brushing on to add or remove a metal.
Metal Mixer even allows you to independently set the depth, surface and environmental settings for each metal you are using in the effect.
Automatic lighting is applied to the surface of the metal whenever you adjust the position and settings of the Lighting controls found on the Lighting Tab. As you adjust the lights the metal surfaces change their reflection and sheen angles and the shading is automatically factored based on the new lighting position and angle you set.
