here´s the problem:

i have a vraylight in the back to light up the “tunnel”.
the light is “invisible”. but in the reflections you can see the light. is there a way that i can exclude the light from being reflected ?

Unfortunately, you can’t do that. Even if you could exclude it from reflections, it will still produce hilights on the glossy materials.

If you just want some light in the tunnel, you can use an omni light with inverse-square falloff affecting only the diffuse portion of the materials.

the only way to do it would be to stop the specular .. and have no reflections .. but that wouldnt work for you i geuss .. vray is phisically real .. now your asking to do something that is fake.

yeas, i understand. sometimes reality is not the goal :slight_smile: but i will try it with an omni, thanks…
