Metalness IOR Documentation Inconsistency

[DestinHalfmann]

Hello,

Is there a reason as to why the VRay help doc on Metal IOR is different from the one posted on the blog?

VRay Help Doc

The reflection colors are not the same across the two charts.
Plus the presets uses the reflection values from the blog post.

I just want to be sure which chart to use.

The values from the Documentation page are the correct ones. The difference stems from the more accurate metallic fresnel, which was implemented in V-Ray 6 and does not require pure white values for the reflection.

Arh, I see.
Good to know.
Will the presets be updated to reflect this change?

The presets are already with the updated values. Tested it just in case with 6.00.08.
