TRUE METALLIC METAL
The new way to bring metal to life!
What is the TMM technique?
The True Metallic Metal (TMM) technique seeks to represent realistic metallic surfaces using metallic paints,
rather than simulating metal with flat colors as in Non-Metallic Metal (NMM)
TMM allows painters to achieve natural reflections and a visually striking finish with less pictorial artifice, preserving the material richness of metal in miniature. To master this technique, simply using a metallic paint
is not enough. TMM requires applying the classical principles of light and shadow used in volume modeling -working with gradients, transitions, and contrasts, just as in any other non-metallic finish.
For years, painters have searched for a way to achieve realistic metallic finishes, with shine, depth, and control over light reflection. True Metallic Metal (TMM) is Vallejo’s answer to that search.
