advanced options for components/groups

Hi :slight_smile:

I still miss an option to control some different options on a component/group level. This could be done in a right-click (se screenshot from maxwell render), which would let you set specific parameters regarding that group/component.

Options that would be great to have could be:

  • Hide from camera

  • Hide from Global Illumination

  • Hide from reflections

Another wish (that many shares) is a better control over reflections… my suggestion would be a tick-box in the material editor named something like “reflect all”. This would force this specific material to reflect everything, and could be useful whenever the optimizations is killing the picture (in mirrors, or attached example). This way we can choose weather we want to sacrifice performance for better accuracy, or keep the real-time performance high.

@Herbo Thanks for your feedback, we’ll check what’s feasible.

Optimized reflections as option are already on our agenda and got your upvote.

That sounds great! And optimized reflections would be great :slight_smile: I hope that means a little more user control as well :slight_smile:

Yup, some sort of selective reflection optimization would be great. We have been having to resort back to 3dsMax/Vray on some projects because of obvious mirror/reflection inaccuracies (that cannot be post corrected easily–and shouldn’t have to be). I know on our end we could sacrifice some time for more accurate reflections.
