Very nice start. It will be important to get the metals right, so remember to use very low diffuse values and high Fresnel IOR (between 4 - 12)...  And never use 100% reflectivity ;) Mostly around 60-80% ;)

Do you mean that I should reduce color value for diffuse (even if I have map in this slot) ?
For which material should I crank up the IOR ?


Oh, I read "materials" instaed of "metals" , sorry : ) But by the way, I'm not sure with strange reflections on cloth materials :/
