Not seeing VRay Sun in reflectoin (3DS and VRay)

[jeffsalman1]

Hi,

 

I've set up a simple scene. A plane with a sphere. Applied a mirror material to the sphere. I have a VRay Sun in the scene. Have not put in a VRay sky. I was trying to see the Sun reflection in the sphere, but it's not showing up. I've been searching online since yesterday and haven't found any insight into why the Sun reflection is not showing up. I set up a VRay area light and put it in the same location as the Sun, just to test, and sure enough, the VRay area light is showing up in the reflection in the sphere. Just the Sun won't.

 

Would appreciate any insight.

 

Thanks!

mmmm, and why you did not put a Vray Sky as an environment map as Vray suggests you ?

 

although you have to delete your sun, put a dome light, add a sky texture with vrayHDRI material, and working with intensity amount/f-number of your camera you shall see the sun..
