How to make Chrome in Magic 1.5? Is it possible?
I want to create N-1 fighter, so I need it.

You have to fake it..(most game do i think)
Technique i use is bakeing the lights and a reflection map into a texture
magic can't do this (i use lightwave,but max does it as well)
you could try and do it in a paint program...be tricky to get right tho

The new Spec maps should help as well (tho i think realtime reflections are a
way off )[:'(]
the metal work on this is all baked and then tweaked in PS
The lighting chosen is allways gonna be a compromise[:(]
