Hi all, back after a little while.

I 've put a light card into my scene but now I can’t figure out how to exclude it from refection only. any ideas?

object properties, uncheck visible to reflection/refractions.

Thanks Andre but that also excludes the Light card from GI so I need another workaround. :?

Are you talking about a bounce card or reflector when you say light card? Could you just use a VRay light with a low multiplier and set to invisible?

maybe he just means an area light of his own making.

yeah just an area light, I’m going to see what the diferance is between quality/time, I like the look it gives but I guess I’ll just have to use an area light.
