hello ...
I need to make a material with a lots of highlights ... like on this picture:

I use 3dsmax5.
I thought to make a material with fresnel reflection ... and put HDRI map on environment ...
But the result isn't so good ...

Can you give me some ideas ?
Thanks ...

You will need to have a high specular amount and a high gloss amount as well. It's not just reflection. Also, using Fresnel reflection is likely to make the highlights (well, the actual reflection really) stronger only when viewing it at a tighter angle, so perhaps that isn't really the route you should be taking.

Giving the surface a high gloss amount and reflection amount, and placing it into a well lit environment should do the trick.
