AtomWords Insights:
Hammered brass is a warm metallic surface covered in small, hand-formed dimples that catch and scatter light in countless tiny, shimmering facets.
Control the specular scatter by pairing this texture with a single, strong key light. The hand-beaten facets of hammered brass break up a clean reflection into hundreds of tiny, high-contrast glints, so avoid diffused light which washes out the dimples.
Keep the geometry simple. Complex ornamental shapes fight with the busy, dimpled texture. Render it on clean, sweeping curves like bowls or simple cuffs to let the organic, fractured reflections do the work.
