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.
