Hi, That would be really useful to be able to better manage the objects that are reflected and refracted by the materials. Instead of the option in the properties of the object and make multiple rendering passes. A list of items excluded from the reflection and a list of items excluded from the r…

As far as reflection/refraction by object, it seems like you can acomplish this with the VrayOverrideMtl. Also, the Vray Dirt texture does have an include/excude dialoge.

Ok for the dirtMap, it seems to be a new feature of Sp3 version, great. But I always can’t exclude an object from the reflection of a specific material. Can be in VRayMtlWrapper in a future version of Vray I hope :wink:

Another example : I have a character with translucent eyelids. Therefore I am obliged to exclude the eye from the refraction if I don’t want to see the iris through the eyelid when he closes his eyes. Too bad : when he puts his glasses I can not see eye with this technique, and I have to retouch…

I could also desperately use an “exclude from object’s reflection” feature. I’m working on product renders, and my reflection cards are showing up in the floor. The reflection cards are critical for interesting reflections on the model, but I can’t afford to have big white boxes messing with the cl…

For reflection cards, I use mapped vray lights nowadays. In plane or geometry mode with only show in reflections ticked. That way you can exclude objects you dont want to get reflections. -LarsSon

Thanks for the tip, that helps solve most of the problem.

The option to exclude certain objects from both reflection and/or refraction at the material level would be amazingly helpful. For even further control, the option to include only certain lights would also be an incredible feature.

A project I made in 2 weeks with Vray. I still the same problem: No button to exclude of reflection an object in the Vray material. Here I could not exclude invisible plates of reflection of the floor and keep them in the reflection of engine parts. Damn! [p68bignormal.jpg]

Thank you for your support to this request which is for many people I work with one of the most important opportunity missing in Vray.
