  • object properties

    Hi all

    Maybe this already exists but what would be a real nice feature is the ability to control whether an object casts shadows, reflects, refracts, etc...

    Sometimes I use bright cards for reflection and then get weird shadows cast by them... or sometimes you don't want something to reflect for whatever reason.

    P.S. what would be the best material to assign for bright cards?

    This is something on the wishlist for the next major point release. Meanwhile you can use rectangular lights and set them to invisible. If you want to use a material then you should create an emiiter layer.

    Best regards,

      In this case, the light is only visible for diffuse lighting and not visible at reflections. This is for me a bad issue, because so a reflective surface looks matte. Or is it a bug?

        but will they reflect?

        If I put them as invistible will they still create reflections?

          No and I miss the reflections very much!
