Hi everyone.
Im trying to make my headlights glare using the glare shader on my lens output, and an omni as my bulb in a headlight. Ive also tried with the glow shader on the bulb itself.
My problem is i am using an HDRI Map as the reflection source for the rest of the car and it glares as well. I cant understand how i can select specific objects for my glare, ive tried reading the manual and searching the web but none the wiser.
Please Help me.
Thanks

EDIT: Of course I've assumed that you're using 3dsmax since you didn't specify software. If you're not using 3dsmax, then just ignore my post here.
