      Yes, fresnel all the time! It makes for a much more dimensional reflection, without it, like thomthom says - it just looks flat. If the other flavors of vray are an indication - the fresnel reflection might be a checkbox (instead of having to load a separate TexFresnel) I'm really curious how the interface will change with the updated vray engine in SU.

        peraphs the separated TextFresnel is needed for adding it in the perpendicular sub-slot of specular map.. anyway i agree it should be default in reflection, TexNone is good for mirrors only..

                  I wouldn't call it a beta, but yes. It's the current status of development, in regards to that feature.

                      well... I'm always asked what the status is for this or that, and I figured I'd show what I have to show, that I can show (at least I don't think anyone would yell at me for leaking that...) Otherwise, everyone starts to think that we're sitting around eating sushi or something (as appealing as that may sound, and as much as we may wish for this, it's not what we do all day).
