thx(edit) umm i tried diffrent dds but it didnt look like chrome
You'd have actually paint the sky onto the parts you want 'chromed' so it looks like they're reflecting the sky (or anything else they'd be reflecting) There is no special chrome paint in LFS. Chrome is basically like a mirror and gets its effect from reflecting it's environment.
no its currently not possible, but i have suggested it a while back..
but as of right now it would still look weird because LFS uses reflection textures rather than realtime reflections, so it would look.. horrid

use the reflection mod
itll look great
itll look greatLOL I'm working on chrome bumpers right now.
When drawing or painting glass or shiny reflective stuff, you draw the
reflections. Same when making chrome for LFS skins. Trouble is, what you draw won't be the relections seen in the game. so you have to fake it and that's a real pain to do.
I use Corel draw to make skins, so it would probably be a waste of time explaining how I try to pull this off. Not to mention, I'll be lucky if I can pull it off
I'll say this much. I won't use a gradiated fill like what would be used in PSD.
I'd imagine getting all three sides of the bumper to align right would be hard that way.
I'm gonna use vectored lines and alot of them. hopefully I can get it passable in one or two attempts

I had this same question when working on my LX4 skin. I have a good friend who uses PS for a living and had her help me out. What she came up with was a multi layer system on the areas I needed to be chrome. Each layer had a different sort of effect or color spray applied to it. I thin in all the headlamps where a total of 6 color layers, that in the end look quite nice. Now over a whole car.... I don't think this same method would work or look good at all.
A poor man's Chrome is the reflection mod over some silver/gray.
