Photoview 360 rendering not glossy

Royce Lee May 22, 2018 9:00 AM

I've modeled a phone on solidworks, and when I go to render it, it doesn't look as good. I assume that this is because it's flat and not curved. Does anyone have any solution for that? I want some reflections and make it look actually glossy. Also, does anyone know how to give 2 texture at the same time? Eg) Lg V30 has glass on top of scratched metal, and I would like to mimic that. Please understand that this is my first time asking something in a forum, and feel free to redirect my topics, and thanks in advance!

Royce,
First your Assembly File will not show because the parts are not included. You need to do a Pack & Go so all the parts are sent with the assembly

Reflections are influenced by, Environment, Rotation of Environment, Scenes, Materials and Lights
When you first start to Render you need to experiment! Delve into all the setting. Practice, practice, practice!

Standard No change

Rotation of Environment
Change Environment
Change Environment
Change Scenes

  Thanks for your reply.
  I have already tried all those, and even tried to change the solidworks light settings, but I think I messed up the settings, and now, it only renders only half of my module. Also, when I try changing the scene and environment, all differences I got was the darkness, and couldn't get the reflection on the back panel of the phone. I have attached the Zip file of my assembly and I will attach some of my rendered results.
  Thanks

    Royce,
    The Floor offset was set to 5mm. I reset back to 0mm
    Also check the direction of the Bottom View Plane
