Self-Illumination

[begem0t]

Is there a way to wire connection into Self-Illumination Mult?
I can plug into Self-Illumination color, but not Mult.

Hi begem0t,

The multiplier as an input and you can wire/plug in anything you need. Is this what you were looking for?



Best,
David.

Hi David, thanx for the answer!

I think it's a different case. V-ray Light Material has the Color Multiplier exposed as input.
My question is about Vray Material's Self-Illumination Multiplier, which does not seem to be exposed as input.



There are multiple other multipliers across different V-ray nodes which do not seem to be exposed as inputs. What I'm missing here?

Can you just multiply the color?

[begem0t]

Thanks Dubbie99,

you are right, that's what I'm doing. Then again, why the option exists at all?

Still I feel that some inputs are missing - another example would be Fog Bias. While probably I can work around Fog Multiplier by simply multiplying the Fog Color, I'm not sure how to work around the Fog Bias?

Hi again begem0t,

Lik you guys already mentioned, multipling the color is the way to go in these cases, this popped up here some time ago too.

Yes, there are some inputs missing and are some cases where they would be beneficial.

Best,
David.
