Floor reflection....again
I've been prowling the Internet the last couple of days trying to find some tutorial about anisotropic blurred reflections on floor materials.
I followed the instructions on Neil Blevins site. My floor material looks like this: Diffuse color: an image of a wood floor (from www.suurland.com, give-aways) Bump: an image of brushed metal, for very fine grooves in the floor to 'carry' the reflection, bump is set to 1 Reflection: a raytrace map set to 5, fall off type is set to OFF (attenuation) Now I get a nice reflection but the reflections of my windows are black en they should be glossy, blurred white-ish like in this picture:  I've also used a fall of map in the reflection map, and tried every possible fall off type (towards-away, perpendicular-paralell, etc) but I just can't seem to get it right. Could someone explaine to me step by step like I'm a 5 year old how i should achieve this effect because I'm on the point of going AAARGGGH!!! I don't need any tips about tutorials on the web because I've seen them all, and they haven't helped me much. |

Re: Floor reflection....again
First use a raytrace material for the floor...
Use a bump map with a noise paramiter... Play with the noise param till you get the 'fuzzy' effect you desire. It works for me! Last edited by upshot; October 21st, 2004 at 11:52 AM. |

Re: Floor reflection....again
That's the right reflection but how do I get the outside ambient light reflected in the floor?
The outdoor ambient light in the picture I posted is so bright, I tried to realise this by a area light bus it doesn't work. Somehow I have to get this outdoor ambient light reflected in my floor. And I want to do it in VIZ 4 without plugins. Last edited by Chris Linek; October 21st, 2004 at 12:21 PM. |

Re: Floor reflection....again
try to put in your environment map on the reflection map (raytrace) a white picture (yes, a full colour white picture) and set a rgb level to high (3..) you will see in the window areas reflected (when the raytrace don't have nothing to reflect, you will see that ligthing white colour........
