VrayMTL - Separate control over Specular and reflection ?

[Dariusz Makowski (Dadal)]

Hey

I was thinking of posting this from quite a long time so here we go.

Mental ray some time ago introduced ''Shines'' tool for his arch&des which allowed us to increase specular strength, leaving reflection normal. I was wondering if we could get something like that too ?

Strength for Specular
Strength for Reflection

or is it already in and I cant find it ?

The reason why I want it its because in many renders I need to make them look stylish, and I dont want to have too much reflection.

We don't plan this for the time being; however you can use the VRayBlendMtl material with two materials - one for specular hilights and one for reflections.

Humh, but wouldnt that increase render times ? As well as cause problems with filters ID, and other issues ? I duno what exactly, but maybe something with animated maps etc etc.

It should not affect render times significantly; why would it have problems with animated maps?
