Vray White Reflections (Maya)

#1

Hey guys,

So I’m trying to make a white material that will show reflections but every time I change the reflection color my material gets darker. Anyone know how to replication the floor in the example below?

Thanks!

The material gets darker because that’s the physically correct behaviour (law of energy conservation, I think that’s the name). Anyway, stronger reflections dim the diffuse component.

You can composite that fully white background in the post-production.

Thank you for replying.

Yeah it took me a while to figure it out. But I just added a white roof with a big light pointing up. To give it something white to reflect.
