mentalray: send/recieve fg or GI for object.

[evgen]

flags in properties of object like a generate/recieve global illumination don't work! (3dsmax9)

[evgen]

For fotons this flags are working,
for fg NOT!

[Hoppergrass]

Only way to exclude objects from FG is to hide them during the FG calculation faze, freeze the FG, unhide and re-render.

You can exclude objects from FG by using a "ray switcher" shader. Head over to maxplugins.de and run a search through the mental ray shader section for "final gather" or "ray switch" and you should find a few shaders to help out.

Thanks, Jeff and Hoppergrass.
I'll try it!
