Title: Fresnel Reflection Tick Box
Post by: hunter1st on 2014-04-04, 12:13:55
Hi there, this is a small request in comparison to all the others on here and I'm sure this has been touched on in the past but I couldn't find the thread.

Anyway I was wondering if you could add a tick box like in vray materials to turn Fresnel off, so you can get a solid chrome without having to changing the fresnel every time. Lazy I know but it gets tedious with loads of different chromes. :P

I'm just curious why the Fresnel Reflection option goes all the way up to 999 in corona?  Anything over 50 doesn't really have an effect right?


Cheers

Mark

Set fresnel value to 999 to disable it completely ;)

thats whats tedious though lol with dozens of materials and having to type  in 999 in every time, a tick box would be better. ;)

If you are disabling fresnel on all of your materials, then there is obviously something very wrong with your workflow. Disabling fresnel should be very special and rare case.

Obviously not for all of my materials. just metals. I never use Fresnel for metals unless I want a bronze or gold or something.

Well, then you do even your metals wrong ;)

Not really. I can achieve any metal without turning Fresnel on, except dull metals like bronze. I know what your thinking though, every material has Fresnel right? Unticking fresnel in vray materials is the same as maxing out the value. Reflection gloss and highlight gloss is all I need.

Yeah I know this lol. but how well this comes across in the renderer I dont know. With vray I can make metals without Fresnel that look identical to using fresnel. Its just a faster workflow to turn it off for metals for me. Unless its a metal like bronze or lead, then i turn it on.  Maybe with corona being unbiased this wouldn't quite work?


See attached. none of these metals have Fresnel ticked on.

ok, I'm not planning to implement this to keep the UI simple
