This Tut is absolutely awesome! Very helpfull and well explained! But I have 1 problem; my chrome material is very bad... so maybe some1 can explain it me a bit more. When I choose the shellac I have the choose between

1. Discard ol material
2. Keep old material as sub-material.

So which one I have to choose? After that I can't see the None like here's said:

"Click “None” next to base material and choose Raytrace"

I'll hope that someone can me explain it a bit more. Or someone can say what I do wrong.

Thanks anyway!

Hey there!

Followed this tut but i've got to a point where i'm stuck.
I have 3dsmax9 and i cant get this step done

-Go to indirect illumination tab. Open the final gather rollout and enable final gather. Change the samples to 50 and check preview (No Precalculations).

Theres no sampling option under the final gather rollout. Theres sampling options in the Caustic and Global Illumination rollouts. But when i played with them and went to render i got an error about photon maps missing or no photon maps....

Any help?

you will have some inconsistency's if you try this with max 9 because mental ray is set up very different.
