chrome apparence

This was already discussed under the subject of "Chrome and indirect
Illumination"

See below:

You can thank Brian Hill for this!

1) On the Illumination tab of the material set the reflectivity (or mirror)
up to it's highest setting

2) set the material color to Black. Strange but true. Chrome things are
really almost always 100% black. It's their reflectivity that make them
appear other colors.

3) MOST IMPORTANT - have something to reflect in the chrome. This can
easily be done by adding an image-based material to a spherical
'environment' scene wall - or just adding other things into the scene to
reflect in the object. If you check out the toaster on my site the key is
the room that is reflecting in it. this is really just a photo I found of a
kitchen that I turned into a material in PW2 and put on the spherical
environment of the scene.

I have seen the tutorial done by Mike Wilson about of photoworks, but I
cannot make mi parts with chrome apparence, something that I did is wrong.

Does anyone of you could you send me a file with the photoworks
configurated to have a chrome apparence?
