You probably want to search the Artist forums for the answer, since it's not necessarily a "technical" question. If you're asking in a general sense to use it in a 3D app and not a game engine, then it's much better for you to look at the community for that 3D app, because they'll be able to help you a lot faster than a general game development community.

But just for the sake of knowledge, and we all enjoy learning dont we? If you are evaluating TGEA from a demo, take a look at the scriptsAndAssets / data / terrainsmaterials.cs file, i have been told it contains example for everything you need to know for building and useing shaders(such as a chrome effect) and soon you can do it like a pro! But for me, when i examine that file it makes me feel stupid because i still cant get a fking shader to work, and i am filled with regret for smoking that dope back in high school.
Let me know how this works, and if you actually DO get it figured out, perhaps you could share the knowledge with me? And i can stop weeping on my knees in the middle isle of city transit bus.
EDIT: Fricken [ b ] for bold with / between [ / b] betrayed me! its my favorite thing to use for emphasis! Why is my world turning against me?

Im not sure how helpful this will ultimately be, but im learning all my shader material use examples from the ForgeDemo, and sometimes just anyplace i find them, like this one time on the bus, BAM there it was chrome! I actually fell to my knees and wept. Once you start searching for CustomMaterial you find them all over the place, its a life changing epiphany.

That happens to me all the time- mostly because it just hurts really bad to fall on your knees ;)
