Title: Corona7 reflection
Post by: iancamarillo on 2021-08-31, 06:53:28

Hi,
I'm really exited about the new physical materials for Corona 7!

But I'm having sort of a hard time figuring out how to turn reflections down, probably because the nomenclature changed on the upgrade? I converted a scene from 6 and it looks the metal material changed the kept glossiness and there's no option for roughness but when I start a new 7 material the roughness is available but the glossiness is not.

I'm assuming the converter isn't aware of any roughness settings which keep the "glossiness" term but its confusing.

I'm probably totally wrong and if someone can point me to "everything you want to know about Corona 7 reflections, conversion's and ALL!!" I'd really appreciate it.

Attached is a screenshot showing my materials.

Thanks so much!
ian

after playing around with the roughness and IOR in a blank scene, the control of reflections makes much more sense now. thx
