I’m in the progress of over complicating a very simple issue… just need to produce a ‘flat’ coloured material with no shading or specular effect. I was thinking of using VrayLight material, but it should recieve shadows, matte is no good either since i need to apply a colour.. ink and paint doesnt seem to work well with Vray…
You could try VRayMtl material with roughness set to 1.0; it will produce flat shading that will react to shadows but I don’t know how useful this will be for you.
Thanks guys - I was actually just playing with the ‘rough’ setting… but then I managed to get exactly ehat I wanted by just combining diffuse colour element and shadow matte element with a bit of AE on top… beautiful
