shining metal materials and hdri?

[Barry Hayden]

I'm not getting something here..........

I am trying to render a pylon shaped object in a shiny metal like stainless steel or chrome and not getting the shine and liquid glossy look.

If I model a sphere and apply a material (AccuRender_nxt_Chrome) it looks like it should.

The same material applied to the pylon renders flat gray.

I am understanding the object needs an hdri to give reflections.

I am using default hdri sky and studio lighting. (nothing else)

What am I missing here?

I think I am getting closer...............

Gracias por un ejemplo de su trabajo hermoso. ¿Cómo me aplico a mi pilón?

Thank you for an example of your beautiful work.
How do I apply to my pylon?

[Barry Hayden]

I don't think I am have a problem with materials.

 

I would like to render a single object (the pylon) with a shiny glossy metal material similer to chrome or polished stainless steel.

 

This would appear to be a simple task.

Apparenty not in Accurender.
