How can i get an illumination like this?

[Array]

that looks a lot like your current lighting setup, except it seems like he is using HDRI or a reflection map.

ehm...currenlty there is no light source in the scene....is the standard illumination... :)

i just wanna have a realistic smoothed shadow under the bike, but i don't know how i can get one..
i've made some test without GI but with bad results... i' just want to know the light source and Brazil's attributes to obtain a realistic shadow with a short render time (even with GI) :)

for the chrome material i've used the Brazil Chrome, but if you don't have Brazil i don't know how tho get a realistic chrome material.....

ok, let me get this straight.... you bought brazil but you dont have a clue how to get that effect?:rolleyes: :surprised

maybe look in the manual.... loads of samples there.

or, maybe even search this forum anf find "global illumination".

I made the bike in that turbosquid link...

Here are the final pictures of how it came out:

It was rendered with finalRender stage-0 using an HDRI map. I'm in the process of re-texturing it and doing some VRay pics of it, but my skills in VRay leave much to be yet desired.

Can you tell me how did you have lighted your bike?

I used an HDRI map with finalRender to light the scene... There are no actual lights anywhere except one omni light that's turned off to disable the default max lighting.

Hope that helps...

those bikes that you did was really awesome ...
and of course the rendered pic was really really cool!
just making compliment ... :beer:

If you have Brazil, lighting your bike they way you want it, is very simple.
1 Go yo the GI options.
2 Turn of Default lighting
3 Turn on Skylight, and make it white
instead of the deafult blue.
done.

Creating chrome is also easy in Brazil.
1 Create a new material and take the Brazil Standard material.
2 Put specular to 0.
3 Reflection is light gray (192)
4 Diffuse is gray (128)
5 You can add an enviroment to this texture.
done.

remember: This chrome material will be raytraced so expect an increase of rendertime.
