2. Turn on Raytracing in Raytracing Quality tab
3. Set 1 or more Reflections in Raytracing Quality tab.

Attribute Description

• Color : Enable base color when use the Fresnel Effect.
  



color value is 1.0 0.0 0.0

color value is 1.0 1.0 1.0

• Samples : Number of sample. The ray actually shot becomes a square of the sampling value. (3 means 9 rays)



left to right : sample value sets 2, 3 and 5

• Spread : Calculated spread.



left to right : spread value sets 0.0, 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0

• Distance : Calculated distance. It infinitely when set 0.



left to right : distance value sets 0.5, 1.0 and 10

• Falloff : Distance modulus of decay.
• Fresnel Scale : Power of the Fresnel Effect.
• Fresnel Bias : Define the falloff rate of the Fresnel Effect.

Known Issues

• Black dot edges when sample value set 1. It will be able to disappear set increase the samples or spread value to 0.0.

It can see black dots

Node Description

• yiGlossyReflection : It's a glossy reflection utilty node.

I'll add functions for next version. It is similar to id_inclexcl and id_nonself.

Maya blur bug 2

I tested the maya software render of motion blur again.
This time used lambert shader (maya default).
It is same as previous objects and render settings.
Result is below.

First of all, This used the 3D blur. The object edges looks like black blocks.

Next one used the 2d blur. It has jaggies.

I tested twice. I guess it cause maya software renderer's bug. 

Blur Error ?

I got comment for motion blur bug.
I tested the 2D and 3D blur in Maya.

First one is the 3D blur. It has black blocks.

Next is the 2D blur. Sphere's edge isn't smooth.

I don't know how to fix it now.

5. You'll find the "yiAODiffuseShader", "yiAmbientOcclusionSader" under Surface, and you can  also find "yiAmbientOcclusion" under General Utilities.

How to use

1. Assign this shader.
2. Turn on Raytracing in Render Setting.
3. Set 1 or more Reflections in Raytracing Quality when using "Receive Transparency""Add Transparency".

Attribute Description

• Color : base color.
• Transparency : transparency color.

• Samples : number of sample ray. when the ray is shot it becomes a square of the sampling value. (3 means 9 rays)
• Distance : Calculated distance. It becomes infinite when set to 0.



left to right: distance value 0.1 1.0 0.0

• Spread : Calculated spread.

• Falloff : Modulus of decay.

Node Description

• yiAODiffuseShader
It's an ambient occlusion plus diffuse.

• yiAmbientOcclusionShader
It's a basic ambient occlusion shader.
