Not quite photoshop...

This isn't photoshop, but i modelled a 3D alloy wheel in 3D Studio Max and added a nice shiny shadow chrome effect to it :A:

Nice model.. but poor render.. :y:

Use V-Ray.. get some lights in there as well.. ;) That justs looks silver, you'll be able to get a perfect chrome.

For V-ray chrome, use VrayMtl, Diffuse colour Black, Reflect colour slight grey, turn on Fresnel reflections, Fresnel IOR to 16, Sub 8, Depth 5, Exit colour Black. Refract colour black, IOR 1.6, Gloss 1, Depth 5 and Sub 8.

Then post up another picture..

P.S - Use 3DS everyday as part of my job ;)
