i have photoshop and paint shop pro and bryce.. ok i understand now that i can use a reflection map. and i can use color settings in the texture editor... but i am unsure about what to do with a silver texture map. do i assign the silver texture to the parts i want chrome..? if i apply the silver texture map, why would i need to change the materials color...? i am still kinda learning about textures and maps and file types, its kinda overwelming if you never used anything like this before. so mucho thanks for the help.. it helped alot..

umm that sounds like i need to find a few things.. any idea where i can get my hands on that good stuff.. :)
