Vraystochastic flakes material - How to dim in shadows?

[ben_hamburg]

Hey there,

been playing around with the vraystochastic flake material, following the docs for snow and sand materials.
https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...asticFlakesMtl
Can´t figure out how to not make it light up in areas that are in the shadow.
Having super bright sparkles in a completely shadowy area just looks very unnatural...
Any hints?

A little bump for this question...

Could you post some screenshots so we can get an idea of what exactly is going on? Doesn't lowering the highlight glossiness or reflection filter suppress the effect?
