Figure 11.93
The carvings don't
reflect, but the rest
of the box's reflec-
tions are still too
strong.
7. You need to reduce the ref lections on the rest of the box. Double-click the file2 node
to open the Attribute Editor. In the Color Balance heading, set Alpha Gain to 0.4,
as shown in Figure 11.94. This sets the
brightest part of the ref lections to be
capped at .4 and not the previous 1.0.
Render, and you see a much better ref lec-
tion in the box and no ref lections in the
carvings. (See Figure 11.95.) Save this to
the render buffer.
8. Rename the file2 node to ref lectionMap
and the phong1 node to boxShader, and save your work.
Figure 11.94
Set Alpha Gain to 0.4.
You can open the scene file
boxRendering01.ma
from the
Scenes
folder in the
Decorative_Box project to catch up to this point or to check your work so far.

The reflections look
much better now.
