Ok well it seems I am trying to do the impossible. Make a piece of shiny/semi shiny metal in Photoshop. It is a polygon shape that will go together to form a concha. I can acheieve a brushed look ok but apparently it looks like a "refigerator." So I need a shiny look to it, a "hammered" look is acceptable as well. I cn't seem to get the bevel and embos effect to work very well on the odd shape like it does on letters. Anyone have any ideas on how to create a shiny texture or a hammered texture 3d look?

What is a concha?? Can you post some pictures, so we can see what you're working on?

A belt.
