Does anyone know how to control reflection distance blurring in Br5. I saw it on BSolutions's site, varying degrees of reflection blurring, the control was via the Specular Halo values. I tried it but I didn't get anywhere. Note: this is not the reflection blur in the rendering option, which creates a general blurring. Neither is it dof control in the rendering option, which effects everything.

Yeah, it's all about the Specular Halo. Just think of it this way. (use the grayscale color slider) THe closer to black the specular halo is, the clearer the reflections and transitions will be. The closer to white (per material) the blurrier.

You still have to use the blurry reflection selection in the premium render settings.

Oh yeah, and that. lol.

It works! But I sure wish Bryce would adopt controls that use color systems, such as cmyk, rgb, pantone, etc. Guesswork is heavy here, especially with such long rendering times. Plop helps some however.

Another relevant question. Also on BSolutions I saw the use of numerical values (0, 50, etc. up to 250). Does anyone know where numerical values can be found. Perhaps this is a color system I could use.

I think those are just the shades of gray/white he was talking about in RGB value (ie 0/0/0 black - 255/255/255 white).

If you alt click the color selector thingy you do get RGB sliders. It's one of the things they don't mention in the manual. So you can get precise color selection in Bryce.
