Flat Fluid Shading

[Ruchit]

Hi, Maya fluid looks flat with default V-Ray settings..Adding "V-Ray fluid shading quality" attribute also not solving an issue.
Why V-Ray is not giving nice self shadow like mental ray ?? Is there any way to render Maya fluid properly with V-Ray ??

Here at home i don't have V-Ray, will upload some test render after return back to work.
Thank you

Hi,

Can you post or send us the scene file to check the lighting setup and fluid shading parameters ?
Also which V-Ray/Maya version is that ?

You must put lights on a scene to see shadow. There is an option in the fluid settings to create fake lighting which V-Ray ignores.

Hi, i tried both (with & without light), no difference.

Here is scene file:

Hello,

There is no light in your scene - if I add one - it works as it should.

Strange. Anyway thanks for looking into scene. I tried with default spot light but same output. Can you plz share ur settings here.

[georgi.zhekov]

Here you go. Just mind it will look lighter, because of the sRGB correction in the VFB.

Georgi Zhekov Thanx. It looks nice with VRayRect light.
