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

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...Screenshot (2).png

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.

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!
