Unable to make emitter invisible in reflection
Posted: Fri May 08, 2020 9:08 am
Hello,
I need to make the light emitters invisible in reflections without losing the glossy reflectance on the other materials.
I used to be able to do this with no problem in the previous version by disabling visibility on specular but now when I do that I lose all the glossy reflectance everywhere and I need that to stay.
If I disable the reflections on glass I lose all the reflections, not just the emitters, and I can't have that. Also, this option doesn't always work either, I need to drop the index value significantly to get rid of the emitters reflecting in the glass anyway. Which basically makes the glass invisible and useless. I just don't want emitter to be visible anywhere, I want it's light.
I set all the visibility parameters of the emitter to 0, I tried setting the light opacity to 0 too - nothing is working. What am I doing wrong?
I'd appreciate any help.
