This is driving me crazy. I've tried a bunch of lighting setups and the top is always dark like that. I think it's a shadow. I'm using a glossy material set to gold. Any help would really be appreciated.

1The lighter part is a reflection. It's simply brighter than everything else because of that. What's that plane that's over everything for? – TARDIS Maker Aug 22 '15 at 01:38

3That is the reflection of the panel you have on top. Lighting glossy materials (like gold) you have to put special attention to the reflections, since those are going to appear all over your object. see: http://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/15683/make-a-gold-reflective-object – Aug 22 '15 at 02:22

The panel over it is an emission plane. I'll check out that link thanks. – Josh Firicano Aug 22 '15 at 13:34
