Specular pass

[Luma3d]

Did something recently changed? Now it looks like specular information is baked into the self illumination pass. And the specular pass is just black.

Hi, thanks for posting. Are you using Live LInk? Specular and Self-Illumination render elements render correctly on my end. Please share a bit more details about your case

Nope... exported from 3ds MAX 2025. Using the latest version of Vantage.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Could you explain in a bit more details what are we looking at here? Is this the specular pass? I am not familiar with your scene and it is very difficult to tell what is what from the screengrabs you have shared.

The black image is the specular pass and the next image is the self illumination pass. Looks like it has the specular information embedded.

Hi, the VRayLight has to be directly visible from the camera to appear in the VRaySpecular render element.
