Chrome material and Sketchup

Post by Arnofor »

Hi,
Every time I export models with reflective surfaces (chrome, mirrors) made in sketchup, objects appears grey in the rendering output of SH3D.
Is there a way to draw reflective objects that keeps this property ?
Thank in advance for your anwers.

Assuming that the reflection in the edit material dialogue is not enough, you can make mirror-like renderings in SH3D

Have a look at thread 6475 / SourceForge 303. It is also possible to adjust the reflection properties in Wavefront files (.obj / .mtl).

ok

Also see my comment here. I've used this technique successfully to create chrome-plated features on objects.
