VRayLightMtl with Gloss option / Self Illumination in std VRayMtl

[Morne]

Hi

I need to be able to put a shiny finish on a VRLightMtl. Yes I know I can use VRay2SidedMtl, but that only really works for square and round objects. What if I have a complex shape? OK then I can put slightly smaller object inside the 1st object and add lightmtl to that. But that just seems like so much extra work.

OR

Can't we just have a self-illumination option in the std VRayMtl?

I'd rather use a VRayBlendMaterial there. Have the LightMtl as basematerial and add a pure reflective material as coat and then use the blend amount to blend it in.

Thorsten
