First load into the scene your prop you wish to use, in my example I used the Saxophone. You can use anything for this Tutorial.
Note: You will need to create a couple of light sources so as the object will display the glow and reflection better.
I suggest making three distant lights and have them facing the front, left and right of your object. You can move them around the object later to improve on the lighting for your scene.
This is great ! I had already found a good brass texture using a gold texture that I found somewhere and was in my material file, but this is far more sophisticated.
