radiosity and chrome material

illyrianeye · November 30th, 2006

I always had this problem with radiosity and chrome metal: Chrome doesnt look like chrome anymore when i use radiosity. What is the way around this?

If i exclude it from radiosity, i get just a black rendering of the metal.

have you got a picture of a real world object which closely resembles the effect you're trying to achieve?

If your using raytrace,you'll definitely get a black object.

illyrianeye,try using a map instead of the usual raytrace for chrome material,I also had problem on using raytrace on radiosity before.

As is, its not a raytrace material. It's just a standard material with a reflection map and blur. If I rended in scanline its fine, but when used with radiosity,it looses its shine/metallic look to it.

I think posting screenshots of what the problem is will probably help people advise you. One of the scanline material, one of the effect under vray, one of your material settings etc...

Use this setting.The map on the reflection slot is a fresnel .
