Maya / Help Please



I'm trying to get a feel of some parts of the chair being chrome,an anyone suggest why I can't get my chrome to look like chrome when I render please?
Is it something to do with the light? The floor? If I have the wrong settings? Raytrace is on this time, thats where I had the problem last time. It has some shine in the render but it's still awful. I will be placing the chair in an alternative scene eventually but shouldn't it be all set up looking correct for when I do put it in there?

Maya / Help Please




I tried the manual vertex merge but it is still sucking in when I smooth them.

With the help of some classmates I think we followed your advice, I had to change the mirror pivot to z -3.2 and it seemed to fit, the problem with the gap between the seat is still there though, thoughts please?

Is this what you meant Jon?

This is the progress on the wheelchair. It didn't mirror the geometry as I would have liked, I saved a copy of the half chair and in this copy I combined all the objects and it let me mirror. There was a gap down the middle of both pieces, I used Merged Vertex Tool and fixed them all point by point. Yes, very long winded but i wanted to see what it looked like. Next problem is, some parts I didn't want to end up smoothed have been because it is now just one object. Lots to re-do but at least now I have an idea of how the model could look. I shall find out what I've got to do to get it where I want it.
