Chrome Graphics?

Post by Cody »

I was wondering if anyone knew how to make the chrome on graphics for MXS. I've seen it a couple times IRL, but can't seem to figure out how to make it look good in MXS.

This is @robfox10's KX450f with chrome on the shrouds, as an example of what I want to do.. Any help? Thanks in advance!

You won't be able to make a legit reflective chrome, you would need a material for that and materials are assigned to the faces of the model.

You can kind of fudge it with textures/maps but it won't have the same results.

Ya you could fake it pretty well, it just wouldn't reflect like chrome does unfortunately, would be cool though! If PBR (Physically Based Rendering) where ever possible for this game then you could I believe.

Cody, I think that O'Hagan (correct me if I'm wrong..) had written a topic somewhere about how to get this effect. I think it involved spec maps but I'm not certain. Anyway, it's somewhere on the forums, maybe in tutorials? Best of luck to ya!
