Hi... my first post at this great forum, and already I need help ;)

How can I make a plain, white, reflecting material? I played around, looked at different Tutorials, but nothing looked very good.

The material has to look very clean and unnaturally... i guess many of you use such materials as a background for your renders.

Thank you for your help!

Another question... is 3dmax still a good software :p
I heared, the time for it is over (since Maya, Lightwave...) :cry: True?

Max is doing just fine, in fact it's rightly taken its place astride Maya at highend3d.com! The Max community is strong, the Discreet marketing machine is making waves, and I think it's safe to say Max will be around for a while to come:buttrock:

As to your white material issue, what's wrong with just a white standard mat with high specularity/spec level and a raytrace map in the reflection slot?
