Hey everyone , well just been trying to visualize glossy surface being lit with a projector.
By now, the only possible way i found was switching to diffuse mat and applying emission texture to it...
So i wonder if there is a better approach :) Any tips are greatly appreciated ! Thx ^^

hi AlexSudnikov,
you did not specify if you work with Standalone or plugin, anyway, here is a discussion about this argument in the c4doctane section:

The same principle works with Standalone or any other plugin.

Hm, somehow i'm not able to get the same results in Standalone version , i mean even though i've assigned a texture on distribution channel, lighting texture is still way too blurred...
