Hi everyone,
I found a way of how to exclude or include images in an object reflection using Vray Area lights and I want to share this with everyone.
Image that you want to reflect:
Plane Image:
1. Create a Vray Area Light
2. In the Area Light tab add a texture
3. In the Common tab turn the Cut-off threshold to 100
Dome or Spherical Image:
1. Create a Vray Area Light
2. In the Area Light tab change from Rectangle to Dome and add a texture (You can use Spherical if you want)
3. In the Common tab turn the Cut-off threshold to 100
Now use the Exclude / Include from the c4d Light Object - Project tab and add the objects that you don't want the image to be reflect or vice versa.
In the example below I exclude the 2 images reflecting on the sphere from the floor (plane).
