Shiny Black Studio

[igendreau]

Looking for some tips related to setting up a simple black studio for that "car commercial" type feel. I've attached an example. I can't seem to get the material/light correct... unless a lot of this is done in Photoshop. But I'd like to get it as close as possible to this. Any tips would be much appreciated. Using V-Ray Next for Sketchup, just fyi.

Give the ground plane a reflective material and make that the base for a material wrapper. Set it all to be a matte material and matte for reflection.
Then it's all about the lighting you use for the reflections on the object.

It'll be much easier to help you if you show an example of your results and tell us exactly what you think isn't working
