No reflections in PBR

[stevesakiwi]

I have a need to prepare a Presentation document for a client.

Since using PBR, I have never had reflections in the exterior glass even though 'Reflections' is ticked in the PBR camera settings.

Refer attached.....plant & furniture are close to sliding door, but no reflections.

What other settings are required?

Also, the siding above the sliding door....is there an option to give the siding a more of a 3D profile?....looks very flat.

Thanks in advance.....Steve

If 'reflections' are not possible, what are the best settings for outdoor PBR?

I have been using settings similar to what Scott from CA presented earlier last year.

Reflections are possible, it's a matter of material definition and lighting. The reflections ares improved if using Real Time Raytracing.

Can you post a plan file?

Thanks Rob for getting back.

Please see attached the properties I have for CA's 'standard glass'....using the rainbow tool.

I have played around with the settings...but no reflections at all.

Cheers, Steve

First off, you have your roughness set to 100%? whereas 0 would be "shiny"
but moreover, change your material class to Transparent

Awesome....I now have reflections.

Many thanks for your help....Steve

Replacing the Glass Standard material from the library would also do it I think

 

 

the Siding looks "flat" cos it is   it just a 2D image, ( with fake shadows at the lap ) but playing with the bump map and turning down the Sun intensity blazing on that Wall may help too.

Thanks Mick,

Have adjusted backdrop intensity from 100 to 500 & changed cladding to Dutchlap which helps a little.

BUT....where do I source a bump map for this siding as nothing is showing up in Bump map?...it's blank....see attached

Oh...sorry the "cheap trick" is to just assign the same texture as above ( copy and paste down ) , and then play with the values....

Thanks again.....pasted texture to Bump & changed from 0.1 to 1.0.... helps a bit.

One day I guess we'll see the cladding corner angled profiles showing in 3D?
