Object invisible in reflections

[Ludvik Koutny]

As it was mentioned above, use Rayswitcher. It will work in this case, but will disable also color bleeding from the object. That's OK unless the object has some self illumination scene is dependent on.

With Corona being a PBR renderer, you shouldn't rely on a workflow that regularly takes advantage of disabling shadow casting. These situation can be in 99.9% of cases handled a lot more efficiently.

I´m of course aware of rayswitch and it´s advantages but still this result may not at all what users expect. It would be at least worth to be mentioned at

Thank you for clarification!

Edit: Just an idea, maybe it´s some day possible that corona plugs such objects internally into a kind of rayswitch, without user interaction and "hidden" at render time as all object/layer render options are already available in rayswitch.

to iterate: it is not a bug. You cannot thing with the 90' mindset that "shadows can be only casted to diffuse surfaces"

BTW: You can already write a maxscript material that would hive rayswitch inside AFAIK ;)
