Are talking about the image in the post #26?
I think it was the Chrome material present in Kerkythea library. Check this link.
Extra materials can be found here.

Maybe because you need to click in the Quote button before you act over the Replay. Smile

Ok silly me . That link for extra materials , I selected "Metals and Car Paints" which downloaded as a zip file , I open the file but don't know what to do ?

The Kerkythea stores its materials at something like: C:\Program Files\Kerkythea Rendering System\MaterialEditor\Libraries
but the easy way to install them is just using the proper option under the File menu: Install Library... Smile

No. After you finish to work in your scene use the Export to Kerkythea. That will create a .xml file that you will load in the Kerkythea application and then you can apply the materials from the library. It's not hard to use - you will see.

p.s. I'm going to create a tread for this discussion, because it's out of my original scope. Wink
