Thought I'd be generious and give out some metal materials for the new reflections. Sorry I couldnt do it a simpler way 

Just copy and paste into a new .an8

couldn't you just post the .an8 file? would be easier...

Edit: attached is the .an8 file

[$imon]

Yea nice materials.. i made a test render as well.. the difference are a bit less evident in mine though.. I hope there will be more options soon like Fresnel reflections!

[floyd86]

@ $imon: Was your image rendered in anim8or, if yes: did you used and HDRI map to make this kind of reflections?

[$imon]

heh yea that was rendered in anim8or, an no HDRI maps are not supported (yet) unfortunately.. I made a big sphere with a cubemap on it around the scene, and have two white emissive blocks that make out the white reflections. Just some tricks to make it look like a HDRI, but of course since there is no GI it can never come close

That's actually what I ment with HDRI maps ^^, but thanks for the tip will try it out soon.

Heres the file attached

[VBSmiles]

Thanks for saving and uploading as an an8.

I just didn't know where to upload the darn thing.

Glad you guys like it.

Nice emissive block trick. I'll have to add that to my trick bag

[Stinky]

Hey $imon, could you maybe upload a scene view from outside the sphere, so newbies like me can grasp a better concept of your set-up ?

Excellent work by-the-way...

[hihosilver]

Stinky, if you simply download the file 3 posts up from yours, you can examine the file and see how he does what he does.

[Stinky]

Oh... Thanks. I didn't realize I could do that... whoops

EDIT: Ok, so I've tried rendering the scene (without emissive blocks) and I cant seem to get the environment map to work. I put the images in there respective places, select the resulting cube map and click "ok" and apply the material in object mode. I'm not sure if this makes sense, but I had to scale up the large sphere in scene mode, just enough to get it out of the shot, but when I rendered, I came up with this...
Can someone, please, help me understand what i'm doin wrong.

[VBSmiles]

Well, my metals use the new ART renderer. So you shouldn't have to rely on an environmental map. However...

 I personally havent attempted to use the specular reflection with environmental mapping, I don't know if you can use both at the same time. If possible, cool. If not, turn one or the other off. In fact, that may be helpful in deturmining what is going on in your environmentals.

[KiwiNM8OR]

Possibly Stinky, the cube-mapped sphere is not large enough and/or try reapplying the cubemap to the sphere as what I see reflected in the metals appears to be the ground grid which therefore seems to me that both the camera and metals are under the grid.

a good way to share materials would be to make a script that adds them to your project.
