Default [help 3dsmax] How to reflect on the ground

First of all I would thank you for your help. I am a 3dsmax beginner so pardon me if I ask something that is obvious for you.

What I want to obtain is showed in the image attached: a reflection on the ground that smoothly disappears in a white ambient (I made the attached example with photoshop).

Can you kindly explain to me how to do that with 3dsmax with a plane and a box?

Thank you again for your patience.

Hi there,

Don't bother asking around, it's saves you a lot of aggrevation, especially when your just turned to MAX....

the easiest way is to (hit m) and pick a raytrace-material in materialbrowser, turn on 'reflections' and adjust the settings in your maps rollout (0 = no refl. 100 = ultra refl.). You should surf the tuts at www.3dcafe.com for learning the basics.

Good luck,
Dennis
