reflect all channels not working with matte-objects

[ultrasonic]

Hi Guys,

could it be that "reflect all channels" does not support the MatteObject-Setting inside the VrayObjectProperties with Reflection Amount set to 1. I think the same might go for "refract all channels", right?

We would really need that feature since we are doing a lot of water shots at the moment.

cheers

Hello ultrasonic

Could you please give us more details what exactly do you want to achieve ?
Currently Reflections do not affects alpha channel of the matte objects - this is a known issue and it is in our system already.

Yes, a scene would be welcome; it's a bit hard to imagine what you need.

Best regards,

Here is the file..
reflect_all_channels.mb.zip

Please check the multimatteRE on both renderlayers....i would really like to see the Multimatte reflected even if the plane is "Matte Surface" ON inside it's vrayObjectProperties Node. It has the Reflection Amount set to 1.0
EDIT: of course this should apply to all other channels....it's just the best to look at the MultiMatte

does that make sense?

cheers

Thank you very much for the scene.
It seams that this is not supported - I'll add it into our list and I'll inform you when we have it supported.
