chrome is easy, almost 100% reflective. Gold, you would think would be easy, just change the diffuse colour right? wrong. looks like ass if you do that. if been sodding about for a while and came up with a pretty nice looking gold material (im not trying to say it perfect in any way but its good start)
heres the material setting i used
Standard Material set to 'multi-layer' in the basic parameters rollout.
diffuse colour set to extremely dark gold/brown colour i.e. i used r25, g19, b5
diffuse level (the one below the diffuse colour box) = 50
first specular level colour = r255, g215, b129
first specular level = 120
first specular glossiness = 25
second specular level colour = white: r255, g255, b255
second specular level = 170
second specular glossiness = 90
reflection = falloff map
top slot (black slot) = raytrace material and value of 30
bottom slot (white slot) = raytrace material and value of 90
falloff type = fresnel
but after all that its not just the material that makes it look good, you need a good lighting and environment set up. For this render a used hdri lighting/reflections and 3 lighting cards, but thats another tut :)
i may actually do this to go in Dave's member tutorials page (if he ever comes back on line that is :s ) as ive not got anything in there yet :) hope it helps mate (or anybody else)

you try and help a guy out and...... *rolls eyes*
yeah i know the card looks dull but they're mainly what is lighting the scene so they are bright, its the second spec layer colour that does that, so yeah alright, use it or dont use it. fun trying it out anyway
