Reflection_Lite_Mult = EVIL

Reflection_Kd_Mult = EVIL times 10

Your total EVIL score is EVIL times 11.

I used to point this out constantly even when it didn't apply. In this case, it applies, because you're using the Reflection_Color input.

It doesn't always ruin your results, but unless you're me, it seems really hard to know when it does and when it has no effect. Therefore, just turn it off.

A secondary problem is you have a constant for Reflection_Value. Absolutely nothing in real life behaves that way - not even a mirror. The Fresnel effect is cruicial to car paint.


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
