I am working on a project right which is actually a CD. Now if you actually hold a CD into the light you will see the reds, yellows, blues, etc... Kind of a prism on the reflective surface. How can I create this effect in Maya? Lights? Textures?

Any help woul dbe great.

Thanks

I think chromatic aberrations is what you are looking for. You can find them in the RaytraceOptions of your materials.

Check out Highend3d.com. They have a shader somewhere in their download section which does exactly what you are looking for.

Assign Anisotropic material to your CD and map its Specular with a Ramp
