Diffuse channel Reflection render element

V-Ray V-Ray for Maya General

I was curious if there’s a way to get the reflection element to reflect the diffuse channel?
I’m working on a project with a flat style to it, and at the moment, my solution has been to apply a surface shader and render it separately to get rid of the lighting information.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Maybe just use the vray light material for all of your objects? Or use self illumination in the vray material?

That’s really the same as the surface shader result though. I was more curious if there was an option where you could define the reflection element to only render diffuse instead of beauty.

I think you might be able to set the reflection in shader to have All Channels. Then if you look at ur light/specular/refl/ in the object reflections then you will have light pass etc etc. Is that what you want?

Hi,
Add a material override on your material. In the reflection override slot, connect a vrayLightMtl with the same texture.

Fantastic, I will try it out!

That worked perfectly, thank you!
