If I apply reflection to a material in Mental Ray or Vray diffuse of material darkens on glancing angles in fresnel situation. In Modo area of less reflection gets brighter instead.

Whats up with that!This depends entirely on your reflection environment. If it's black, then obviously things will darken at the edges simply because they reflect more of the black.
