Glow effect reflection problem

[markl]

Hi all

Is there any way to show the reflections of the glow effect on the water? At the moment the glow effect is computed at the end of the rendering and for this reason is not visible for the water reflections.

Any good ideas which not involves Photoshop?

Thanks for any help.

Dont think it's possible - this is another reason why people swear by doing glows and effects like that in post. Any botched solutions would involve an object in the scene, which need trial and error lining up and dont line up anymore if you move the camera.

I'm not at my computer so this is from memory and I haven't done it since max3 (good old times when we used to put glows and lans flares on anything) and I've never tested it on Vray either.

I vaguelly remember that if you assign ID number for the effect by object it'd be OK,because in that case the effect info will be passed down to renderer. If you assign ID by material nothing will be passed and the effect wouldn't be visible.

Hope this might help
