  • HDRI Domelight Affect Reflections vs Specular

    Has the Domelight settings for Affect Reflections and Affect Specular changed in the latest versions of Vray for Sketchup?
    In my models, sometimes I use BOTH Sun light and dome light for my exterior render. This is so that I can use the lighting from the Sunlight and the background from the HDRI.
    More details here at 09:57
    For this to work, I had to turn off everything except "Affect Reflections" on the domelight

    This will allow me to keep the reflection of the HDRI on the windows (as seen in the Reflection render element attached below)

    However, in the latest version, having the same settings, the HDRI doesn't show up in the Reflection render element

    Even the final images are different, original image rendered in an older version of vray. I think I was using Vray Next at that time

    However, I do notice that the HDRI will show up in the reflection of the window if I turn on Affect Specular in the dome light settings. https://www.dropbox.com/s/1o0hvbv75j...tings.mp4?dl=0
    My question is has the settings for dome light changed in the latest version or is this a bug?
