  • Vray Light Feature Query/Request

    Using V-Ray for Maya 2015 SP4 version 3.05.04 on WIN 7

    Vray Light Feature Query/Request

    Is there a way to have the texture applied to a Vray rect light falloff to transparency?

    For example, when a ramp texture (white to black) is mapped to a rect light to create a feathered falloff, the reflected highlight produced from the light includes the black part of the ramp texture which occludes reflections, diffuse and spec components from other lights, like a dome light or other rect lights that are behind the ramp textured mapped light.

    If the black in the ramp texture mapped light could be transparent then the reflections would add together with the diffuse/specular components of all the lights affecting the model.

    Sure, you can connect the alpha texture input (Rect Tex A) of the rectangle light to a suitable circular texture.

    Best regards,
