One of the issues with reflection settings is, you cannot go lower than 0.

OK, I have a habit of adding an emitter 'face' which infills any missing light and helps considerably.

Dealing with a new health issues (Diabetes secondary to Crohn's) which is complicating life's already complex harmony.
Sorry for my perfidity. Still need to adjust this.

Hey Mike,

I hope you are doing well. That scene already looks a lot better-lit.

I'm not sure which material you are using, but you can control the roughness of the material:

Feel free to screenshot your material settings, which helps us understand your setup better.

Also, whatever @Rich-O-Brien says goes; he's the number one Rayscaper expert in the world. And I'm saying this without irony.

Regards,
Thomas

Roughness is a 0 to 1 slider.

• 0 = 0% roughness therefore 100% reflection (Black)

• 1 = 100% roughness therefore 0% reflection (White)

The values actually represent Black to White which is why when you plug greyscale roughness maps you create some very nice results.

Metallic value = 0

@Rich-O-Brien Oof, good one. Took a while to sink in.

Nice, the lighting is a lot better than the initial render. The glasses on the table are still missing some refraction.

[Mike Amos]

Thanks, yes, the infill lighting I had forgotten is present and accounted for. Essentially a large low power light source (A simple face lit by colour emmission setting) which can be angled however I need to depending on where I want it to focus. 2 watts and 5k temp. Something I started using with Twilight. All of the original textures which failed have been replaced and work as advertised.

@Mike-Amos Keep after it. You’re making good progress.
