NaxosCGCustomerHello guys,
Is there a way to use several hdri pictures, so some objects get reflects from another hdri than the main environment one ?"1+1=3... for large values of 1"

Mikhail LuzyaninStaffUnfortunally no.

Alexander KovelenovStaffNot yet, though you can simulate such behavior with Vector Transform and Reflect nodes:

The only way is to use standart material system.

Ok, less nice, but ok.

NaxosCGCustomerSorry to ask, but when i put my hdr picture in the reflection slot of the standard material, it goes chrome even with the percentage of map donw to 10 instead of default 100)…
Please see my screenshot (sorry it is small for balls).
The red one is nice shader, but reflects the default hdr environment : i can’t change it as it was made for the special glass billards table to get nice reflections.
the chromed ball is with standard material, and another hdr envir in it’s reflection slot : see, even at 20% it goes chromed.Any help ?

Mikhail LuzyaninStaffYou need to change specular color to change environment influence. You can connect a fresnel node to it to add a fresnel effect on the material or any map etc

NaxosCGCustomerOk, it is better, no more chrome, but as you can see in my screenshot, the “standard”-shaded ball it black (with wanted reflects on, thanks).
So i guess standard materials are not lit with environment HDRi lighting, like the physical-shaded is.

Yes, it’s can be lit only with light sources.

NaxosCGCustomerOk, so here comes the dead-end… I’ll figure out another way.
This would be a feature request : let us use different hdr pictures for different meshes / shaders…
Plus let us use a hdr for light, and another for reflections
Best regards.

NaxosCGCustomerOk, so i understand that as long as Physical material does not have a slot for environment reflection, no way… sad.

Mikhail LuzyaninStaffYes, unfortunally 3ds max material system not so flexable.
