Include light in "Reflection exclusion" of Trace Sets

[flat]

Can not include a light (VRayLight and 3dsMax's Lights) in "Reflection exclusion" of Trace Sets ?

This is useful when you want to control highlights on the object side.

I hope for this function.

On a personal note, I would never use 3DSMax lights even though it is possible... for me it's as bad as using 3dsMax standard materials.

Of course.

Why does the default light work on V-Ray?

The best idea is not to force the workflow to the user.

The include/exclude dialog is a 3ds max thing and it supports only geometry as picking objects. We have no control there. You can always override the list through maxscript.

Thank you for info.

I confirmed that VRayLight can be excluded from reflection by directly changing vrscene.

reflection_exclude=List(
VRayLight001@light_3
);

However, can not exclude 3ds Max lights. I understand the reason.

Warnings: plugin Spot001@light_4 of type LightSpotMax cannot be in the exclude list (does not have geometry)

but,

(Other than setting hidden HGlossness with MAXScript.)
