Wet surface issue

[hoseinasadi]

hey guyz,

ive been trying to apply a wet to look to my texture, took the texture into PS and painted few areas in white/light grey so they'd appear wet. however after i get a render the white/light grey areas appear as dark spots over my texture. here's a photo to illustrate what i mean. any idea what i might be doing wrong?

Well VRay is energy conserving; the more reflective a surface is, the less diffuse value it has. You need something for it to reflect, rather than just black.

so if i just add-in a sky into environment slot the black areas will reflect the sky ? basically im trying to create a kitchen floor that's partially wet ~

Or you could put a map in the environment slot of the floor material if you just want that material to reflect it. Depends how you want the final to look.

ive added an HDR to environment slot , however the reflections on the floor wouldnt reflect as desired, teapot tho looks fine, im lost!
