Is there a way to eliminate the reflections of Ghost Lights? (Solved)

BlueFingers

I am working on a scene in which I use a ghost light, however the reflection of the ghost light really doesn't work in the image. Is there a way to eliminate the reflection? See image as an example.

Other types of suggestions on how to manage the reflections are welcome too.

I'd say the first question is "which type of ghost light?"

BlueFingers

I used a primitive with the "Create Advanced Iray Node Properties"-script from the Daz Default Resources, I didn't know there were more ways to create a Ghost Light with the current version of Iray. If there is a better way, please share !!

There's two different options on that script which have both been referred to as ghost lights, so it helps to be specific.

BlueFingers

Ah, apologies, I wasn't aware. I used the script to turn the primitive in to an advanced Iray Node and selected the options "Iray visible to primary rays" and "Iray Ghost Light factor", then I turned of the "Iray visible to primary rays" in the parameter tab for the primitive.

Creating a "Ghost Light" - Daz Studio 4.21.1.26+ - Daz 3D Forums  did you use the Ghost Light factor to address refelction?

I didn't, but now I do :-)) Thank you so much!! It's not perfect, but I can work with it, and it'll save quite a bit of work in post!
