HAHA...uhhh, if you want realism you have to use something that will reflect the stuff around it. Soo...if you dont use mental ray and dgs then I am not sure how real it is going to work...please dont kill me.

All right, I am still working on writing this tutorial...but I made a phong layered texture to make a dirty looking metal with scratches on it. I then added an image based lighting scheme (hdri), and rendered it under mental ray...

If this is something you want just give me a little time to finish up the tutorial.

dgs materials do work, It must be you doing something wrong for it not to render.

Have you tried downloading a shader from highend3d, they have quite a few that are free so you can see how its created.

if you're using a dgs material you have to make sure you're rendering with mental ray and not maya's software renderer...

if you render and you're getting nothing but black you're using software render... and since dgs is a mental ray material you're not going to get anything.

Accept no substitutions.
