okay here are my results not perfect still need to figure some things out and I am thinking its has to do with what mark said about light angle and camera but will work on that next.

This is using basicwiz settings. I put two of the same swords in her hand the one in her left hand is the default and the right hand the one I modified the settings on.

I do see a bit of reflection now but not the end result I want, I guess I was looking for a more of a silver type reflection where as this appears to be whiting out i guess the word im looking for. again might have to do with the light set up. I am basically using a DM light set, with the front light the only light with raytrace shadows on its an directional light too.

 

next post will post the material settings so maybe you see something to make better.
