VRayRoughness

This page contains information about the Roughness Render Element.

Overview

The Roughness Render Element bakes the Reflection Roughness values in a scene, creating a grayscale image. To enable Reflection Roughness on a V-Ray Material, its BRDF needs to be set to Use roughness, then the Reflection Glossiness option turns into Reflection Roughness. Values between 0 and 1 can be entered, the closer to 1 - the whiter the render and the closer to 0 - the darker the render.
