Title: Ray switcher Texmap error
Post by: iainbanks on 2015-03-05, 12:25:56

Hey, am experimenting with the 'Ray switcher texmap' and seem to be having some problems.

Attached is a simple render of a sphere with corona sky in the GI slot, and a 360 panorama as the reflection slot. Pretty sure its not supposed to look like that.

Hey, I think you mistook RaySwitch for reflection/refraction overrides.

If you want one map to be visible in glass material's reflection and another one in its refraction, use overrides either in Environment tab or in material:

Hey thanks for the reply, i could use the environment overrides yes but should the ray switcher not act in the same way when used in the environment slot?

Hey, since CoronaRaySwitch texmap doesn't has hes own texture coordinates and you didn't assigned any map to refract and direct slots, you should expect unexpected results when assign it as enviroment :] But this is just my guess. It could be a bug as well.

It is simply not meant for such use, at least in current version.

hi,
it is basically as Maru said. Rayswitch mtl is not intended to work in environment slot just because there are already override controls present in the render settings UI - it would clash if both sets of override worked.
