Chrome setting in photoworks 1

[jimdogg]

Hello all

I think this has been asked somewhere before but can't find it.

What is the best setting in photoworks 2 for chrome plate.
Standard materials are pretty bad.

I am using a plain white backround with one directional light and standard ambient light.

My parts/assemblies are not that big either.

Any help much appriciated.

Check out bxhdesigns in the links and FAQ area.

You'll need some black in your background areas to get good chrome. Also, consider making the color of your chrome material dark or black as well. The chrome needs to reflect both highlights and dark areas to be dramatic.

Reflective materials need something to reflect. If there is no environment to reflect then yes, the stock reflective materials do look bad. The links above should help you get the look you want.
