In Maya - make sure Mayatomr (mental ray) is loaded.
Open Hypershade.
Under Create Maya Node, change to menta ray Node.
DGS Material
Low, if any diffuse
No Specular
High (~70) glossy.

thanks for posting your reply. I am searching for how to make some metal objects. I'll make sure to try out your idea.

Do a search for 'chrome' in this subforum, there are more than enough topics.

Keep in mind that in order to create nice chrome, you need to give it something to reflect. A chrome ball in a dark room will be invisible, so it all depends on the environment. The chair in your example picture is in front of a white background, but the other sides of the room are dark. The combination between light and dark makes the reflections look nice.
