Refelction on floor

[Chris Linek]

A simple question, or at least the awnser will be I guess. How are the reflections created in the circles? I can't seem to get it right. When I place a light to shine trough my windows I only see the light spots on the floor or the walls from the lightbeam. But I can´t get the reflections of the 'environment light' on the floor. I've played around with reflections and attenuation in my floor material but somewhere I'm doing something wrong.

 

Some guidance in the right direction(s) would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

hi

personally i think your being too critical of your work.

It's good, put in the final images folder and get on with the next one.

You did a very good job, be proud of it, seriously nobody would see that.

i agree with that...

Isn't that someone else's work he's using as an example(?)

IC, good catch, I noticed the MD8 signature, but the name in the lower right hand side, appears to be something other than his. But it does have sample as a watermark, maybe this is what he is trying to acheive, not what he has already produced. Just trying to be optimistic.

Try using some attentuation or falloff for the reflection.

[Chris Linek]

Yes indeed the picture I posted is an example of what I´m trying to achieve.

I've looked around on this forum, and there is a very similar post about the reflections on the floor, saying that reflections like that are done by a third party render?? Isn't it possible in VIZ 4?

you can put a very small bump map on the floor material, or you could use the fall-off from the raytrace material
