  • Specular disappears inside Subdivision Surface?

    Posted by Tim Vining on February 27, 2022 at 1:48 pm

    I have objects nested inside a null, nested inside a Subdivision Surface. The ss acts upon all the objects inside the null. I then made a light just for specular for one of the nested objects using Project/Include, but the specular works on that object only if I turn OFF the Subdivison Surface. Does anybody know why this is?

    Hmm, works for me. See project.

    It might be an ordering thing? You can also turn off the spec on all lights except that one (spec isn’t a real thing anyway). You can also turn off spec in all materials except that eye one and keep the spec on for all lights.

    Eyes look better anyway where there’s a real reflection instead of a spec highlight. That way you get horizons, the bridge of the nose and little Frodo-esque eclipses.
