Reflected sunrays

Hey Everyone

Just a simple question:

Is it possible to reflect the vray sun with mirrors, so as to extend the natural light into an ex. atrium? Ideally, i would like to have lightrays on my internal walls, shaped like the mirrors that reflect the light from above. Ive been trying endlessly to to exactly that, and it just isnt happening. I can get the effect by using a spotlight, but not with the vray sun… Is it physically just not possible, or is there some option/thing Im missing in this?

Thanks in advance for all the help :slight_smile:

I think you need to enable caustics.

Wow, thanks thomthom, i “think” that solved it, although i have problems with huge blotches on the interior walls now, i guess due to the caustics. But anyway, thanks a lot :smile:
