Greg… I'm no expert like some in the forum, however, I believe what you're looking for isn't possible with 3DS. One can use flat reflect maps, etc., but I assume you're trying to get a high end "Silicon Graphics" type metallic finish like we see on TV. 3DS seems to have problems with metals and glass (this is only my opinion). I too would like to create highly polished, chrome finishes, etc. We all would, but…even though 3DS is a fantastic program, but it too has it's limitations. All pros out there are welcome to straighten me out if I'm full of it.
