      Hi,

      Apologies that this isn't being posted on Maxwell Render forums but I am having trouble posting anything on there for some reason... If anyone knows how I can get this sorted please let me know.

      Anyhow, I have recently been using the plug-in to expand my rendering skills, yet i believe i'm a fair way away from mastering this in depth programme! I have bought the plug-in (and have a 30 day trial for the studio) and have got some basics sorted.

      However, I've already discovered that something can't be quite right as I have had to use about 80 LEM's (400mm x 400mm) with a huge wattage (25,000 watts each) for a visual of a small speakers stage project. The scale of the drawing I think is right but the lEM quantity doesn't seem right.

      The other issue which is really tackling my brain is how to get the gloss/ shimmer effect on materials so they have more reflectance. I have dropped the roughness to 0 and the nd around 2... how can get more of a shine without photoshopping!!

      I have attached a visual of the original render, and it's the white goalpost which i want shiny, and the overall lighting to be brighter. I was quite happy with the overall resolution (did it to max 1920 res) but have attached lower res jpeg.

      Thank you

        Hi Jonathan

        Why don't post the model and I'll have a look quickly. I'm fairly sure it's easily rectified.
