hi all, im trying to model a logo and i havnt seem to find a chrome texture or a mirror effect so that it'll reflect what ever i put in front of it. anyone have a texture or preset i can get to import?

Case of reading the manual, search for reflection, render tree, surface

heh, I have Softimage XSI Advanced on one PC which I'm using right now and XSI EXP for HL2 on the other for making sure things I say still apply for the EXP guys.

I will put my boxed full version of Lightwave 3D 7.5 on it being in the manual and help files. It's one of the most simple parts of surfacing in XSI, you'll kick yourself when you see it, trust me

Simple enough really. Just a grid pattern used for bump, reflection. Color on the reflected parts dialed down to 000. bluish tint on the none reflective parts, looks like reflection is set to max with no other effects. HDR imagine in the background either on the inside of a sphere or using an environment shader perhaps.
