Vray Metal Shader Bug? Always reflective - going crazy

[John Marsios]

Hi all

Trying to replicate a stainless steel/metal material that is flat in nature with not too much reflection. However, everytime i lower the reflection amount to blurr the metal, it appears to be the same.

See attached items - what am i doing wrong?

Please help

Thanks

I know this sounds silly, but it's happened to me before; Are you sure that material is applied to the light fitting? Try the colour picker/material select thing just to double check.

What you seem to be doing wrong is lowering the glossiness, not the color value in reflection slot, where it controls the overall amount; that looks near white meaning very reflective .

No, I think he wants it very reflective (like metal), but with a low gloss sheen to it - like it's showing in the material editor.

Have you accidentally unchecked glossy effects in your render settings?

Hi all

Thanks for the replies. Stephen, you hit the nail on the head. I realised this a couple of days ago and it was exactly that!!
