        I would try adding an HDR to the Background slot, so your brushed metal has something to reflect.. otherwise your surface will always reflect white!

          wonderful idea, thanks!
          ...but, there´re plenty of them, which is the best?
          has anyone tried these ? i´ve downloaded some hdri files nature (Природа) but no chance to open zip files 😞
          it seems, they´re suitable just for 3d max.

          thanks!

          note. i thing, you can also get etraordinary results without hdri.
          magic formula is settings, making eg. glass effect like this i found on deviantart

          i´ve seen also a very beautiful ice lettering effect with tutorial , but i can´t find it anymore.

            Colored glass with that many curves is always going to render well IMO. A flat metal box is going to need some environment to reflect.

            A brushed stainless material needs Fresnel reflection with a high IOR, like 18 or so, a brushed map in the reflection exclusion map and a brushed bump map. Chaos (formerly ASG) has some good ones on their site if your registered. Try this one http://luzindirecta.luxisessentia.com/index.php/categories-menu/metal-menu/176-aluminium-brushed-01
