3d max How To Use Reflection For Object

[Selective]

Hi @Tut
I want to create a reflection for the model I maked. How can I do this, for example, for the columns of this object?

Can you advise what make it look better?

Are you asking floor reflection or how to improve lighting/shading?

[Selective]

For the floor that I know, What should I do for the column?

[Tut]

Sorry I don't understand your question - are you asking how reflections work or how to improve the shading of your model?

[Selective]

Shadow was a topic for him. The question is, can I polish my column?

[Tut]

You could try adding a texture into the environment channel in your material. As seen on vehicles, they sometimes have fake chrome metallic reflections.
Section 7 on this thread will help you do so.

Yeah, the guide that I referenced in my previous post explains exactly this - environment reflection mapping.

OK I've gone ahead and added a video for that section. In your case, instead of clicking the planar projection, click the Cyllindral projection mode or whichever makes it easier for your case.

Alternatively for your case you could simply apply an Unwrap UVW modifier, and at Map Channel choose 2 and on the options choose Move instead of Abandon. This moves the object's existing UV mapping into UV channel 2. This might work out better for you.

It's also possible to use the UVW Map modifier to quickly unwrap your UVs.

Try compressing the reflection texture in your .TXD file as DXT1

It looks like it's just the intensity setting of the reflection that's too low, hence it doesn't render ingame.

If you're unable to locate this setting, please create a GTA Material instead of Standard material, and in there you will find settings for your env map.
