VRay Fresnel Map

Hi Chaos group,

I have a much needed product suggestion.

I recently posted a problem on the forums, which can be seen here. https://forums.chaosgroup.com/forum/…pecular-layers

After a lot of trial and error, it seems that there is no proper solution.

I would like to request that Chaos Group make a new texture map that has the exact Glossy fresnel IOR, parameters as seen in the VrayMtl’s reflection properties.

This would act as a proper Glossy fresnel mask for layering specular materials using VRay Blend Material.

The current Fresnel Falloff does not have the option for Glossy Fresnel and so cant re-create the same specular settings as a VRay Material.

This is a huge problem for me as I am trying to create a skin shader using ALSurface with the specular from VrayMtl layered on top using VRayblendMtl.

I hope you can fix this problem soon as its a very big issue. I really hope this problem can be solved very soon as the workflow for layering specular is currently broken.

Thanks

Steve ~

Vlado said they’ll make a reflection coat material for this purpose. See the end of that thread (starts at page 8 ):

But thanks for creating a wishlist thread for that :wink:
Let’s see if we can raise the priority :roll_eyes:

This needs to be done right now. It’s top priority. I’m really shocked at this massive problem. Cannot believe it.
