Quote - I'm curious about the "avoid nose reflection" option. How would you exclude single objects (or even part of an object, as the nose is often not a separate body part)from reflection? I briefly looked at the generated mc6's with / without this option ticked, but could not relate any difference to a nose specific setting.

Well spotted!

Some background: EZSkin is a generic solution designed to work with a wide range of figures so I've had to make some compromises which I wouldn't need to make if it was designed to work with a specific figure.

One of these compromises was where to put the eye reflections. I decided to put them on the cornea material as most figures didn't have the 'eyetrans' material that our beloved DAZ gen 4 figures do.

The cornea, though, is often very rounded and the sides pick up the reflection of the nose! This doesn't seem to happen when the reflections are on the eyetrans material, presumably because it is somewhat flatter.

Anyway, what EZSkin does if the 'Avoid nose' option is ticked is to change the 'Ray bias' value of the reflection so that ignores anything within a few inches. That avoids the eyes reflecting their own facial features but still allows them to reflect everything else.

So you're right - it's not just the nose, but that happens to be the only facial feature that typically gets reflected in the cornea.
