Under the appearane tab, pick "Chrome - polished".  That should take care of it.

Check your materials.   You'll need to go to make it polished 

also maybe change your rendering from 32 til satisfactory

this is one I'm working on currently:

Welcome to the community!

You're not giving a lot of info on how you're trying to render or which version of Inventor, but maybe this screenshot can give you some ideas:

Thanks all for the quick replies.

More info on what my setup is:

Appearence: Stainless Steel - Polished

Visual Style: Realistic

Shadows: Ambient

Lighting Style: Grey Room with exposure at 1.7

45 iterations

Image filtering: Gaussian Width: 3

From my understanding i thought ray tracing could not be used in conjuntion with the studio? I need to out put my image with no background hence why i havnt used the ray tracing...

[mdavis22569]

Are you changing the background to Presentation?

[Anonymous]

Yes i just turned background to presentation. I trying the ray tacing which look promising other than taking 10 years at the rate its going...

I still dont understand how to go from ray tracing to studio render, if its even possible

How "real" does your image need to be, because if that's important you might need to render in different software...

(example of 3DS Max, as i like that software)

You could change your background to "presentation" with a single (white) color as the background like Michael suggests...

Other than that it's mainly tweaking your lighting style and material.

Its for a company website and ill end up doing a lot of them so id like to get a good set up to do them all.

Finally i think we have a winner.

Thanks everyone. I Also might look into other software too. Right now ive got Keyshot trail but dont know how to use it!

My image was done in Studio ...

as was this one

Logan,

I think if you are going to do a lot of them then I would setup an assembly with all the lights and background walls that you need to make a good render.

Then just replace your subject in the assembly for all your different renders.

This way you only need to setup once and all your renders will come out the same.

If you need to do a lot of them and the setup you have now with the white background and ray-tracing is satisfactory, then i think that will be the quickest for you.

(As you can see in my 3DS Max render, that simple medium quality render already took over 8 minutes...)

So if you're happy with the result, i'd say stick with it!
