Have always been frustrated by not having Specular Highlights Indoors using the Vray SUN/SKY/PHYSCAM setup to get a very natural lighting.
Specular Highlights only work when the first reflective bounce is hitting a direct light. Often most of a scene indoors is not in direct light so you don't get any specular highlight render element layer for doing quick & easy [& more realistic] highlight glows in post-production.
See below for an image of the scene setup to achieve specular highlights indoors.
Simply put a vray light [plane] in the window and check 'SKYLIGHT PORTAL'
The GI - lighting from this light will be exactly as the Vray Sky behind it [Something I think that would be impossible to just GUESS??? which now seems obvious why this option was implimented]
You should now have nice speculars indoors!!
Cheers
