Excluding lights to reflect on specific objects

[germannick]

It would be very helpful to exclude objects or materials from reflecting specific lights.

+1 for light linking

The experimental feature ray mask (utility node) should do exactly this.


But I haven't an example right now, 'cause I wrote this with a mobile.

Marco, I will look into this. Thanks for the hint
nonetheless this already sounds more complicated in the set up than just selecting a certain light and say exclude certain object

Hi Marco, the ray mask node can exclude a material from the reflection or GI, but not from a specific light. If you like to exclude just one light from a particular object in the scene - it isn't possible in KS.
Light linking is very usefull on complex shots like watches or car interiors.
