Hello, I am rendering a scene in Vray for Max. I have used 1 Vray light which acts like Area light. I want to get a good highlight on the lamp pole. So for that I tried creating a plane and applied Vray Light material. Increased multiplier to 100. For the material of lamp, I have used Vray material. In the reflections, I turned the colour to grey to get reflections. The refl. glossiness is at 1.0. But, I dont understand why it doesnt show any reflections on it. Secondly I want to show volume on it. Rite now it looks flat. I tried playing with angle of light but all in vain. I thought of using a black panel but I dont know how I should place it. Can you provide some tips.
