Hello,
I just noticed the following behaviour of glossy reflections.
On some parts, the object looks like beeing flat shaded.
Is there anything that can be done about it, or anything I´m doing wrong ?
(Just a standard Vray material with reflections and glossiness)
regards,
sam
I have the same problem with anisotropic “on” :
Strange squares into reflection glossiness…
Vray 1.5SP1 64Bits + max 2008 64Bits…
Vlado I could send you a sample scene as soon as NDA fall in the next few days…
Best regards…
You should post your scene…
Best regards..
It´s just a test scene… A Plane with some procedural material applied and a glossy sphere
(Vray material out of the box diffuse black and glossy reflections).
I tried nearly everything.. and the only thing that solves the behaviour is switching to
phong shading.
It happens under any circumstances I tested. Vray Sun, HDRI, default lights, secondary GI
QMC or Lightcache.. different cuttoff parameters.
I don’t know if you speak about the same problem I have…
Look at the sphere’s base the reflection is very strange. Some squares appears…
Best regards…
PS : I know… my english sucks !
Is this with SP1?

@Vlado: 1.5 SP 1
@stilgarna: Yes, these squares are my problem. they look like beeing flat shaded.
So, we have the same problem… 
Best regards…
Anyone having the same problem ???
Any suggestion ?
Best regards…
Yes, I can reproduce this here. If you wish, you can email me to vlado@chaosgroup.com for a fix.

Great news.. Thank you very much !!!
Hello Vlado…
Very good news… do you plan to add this fix into SP2 ??? If you add it I can wait until april 20th
Best regards…
Yes, there is a “Soften” parameter for the BRDF in SP2 which helps to deal with such issues, until we roll out the V-Ray BRDF.
Best regards,
Vlado
So I will wait for SP2 if this will be released in just a few weeks.
But thanks a lot for the offer !!!
I don´t know another company where this would be possible !!
Best regards,
