Independent VRayLight Reflection Contribution

[alexyork]

Massive thanks for including the ability to control independently a light's specular contribution. Was my top wish. Any chance you could implement the same thing for its reflection contribution as well? Same 0-1 would be fantastic.

Extremely useful to have this ability.

Thanks,

You want an additional mode (reflection) to be added to the light select render element ?

[alexyork]

Not quite, no. In the VRayLight itself we can currently control how strong the specular effect will be on the light independent of its multiplier, with the slider from 0-1. I would like the same control but for its Reflection component, so we can have lights very strong in the scene but control their reflection in other objects.

A good example is if you have some strong lights nicely lighting a promenade along a riverbank but their reflections are far too strong in the water. The water itself is reflecting everything else correctly and you don't want to reduce the reflection strength of the water material. So if you could simply drop the lights' Reflection Multiplier down to 0.5 or so that would work perfectly.

Hope that makes sense. Not in front of max right now so I can't take a screenshot of what I mean in the UI.

Thank you very much for the explanation. I will forward this request to our developers.
