We’ve explored creating lustrous true metallic effects by matting shadows, and we’ve created swatches for non metallics. But how about synthesizing the two? 

This tutorial delves into the structure of NMM and using it for TMM purposes. This opens a whole new world for us to explore.

TMM NMM Lion Sword The Best of Both Worlds

I remember an AdeptiCon class on metallics a couple years ago that mentioned DMM/Demi-Metal Metallics, that combined NMM and TMM, but I'd never actually seen it til now. Very interesting.

To give it more of a "glow" from an energy field (power sword/ frost weapon/ daemon weapon, a la Fulgrim) or similar effect, would you glaze over the top, or would you incorporate some of the "glow colour into the NMM mix and have the metallic spray over the top?
