I don't no the original name of this effect. I need a glass material what reflect like a mirror, but when a light behind that mirror turns on, then you can see through. You know what I mean?

How can I make this in mental ray? When I don't find a solution then I can do it in post with masking maybe, but direct in mental ray want be more nice.

Thanks for your ideas!

Does shadow samples of photometric area lights and skyportal work with unified sampling in 3ds max?

So far in my tests, I haven't noticed that shadow samples get changed based on max samples set into unified sampling? (regardless how high quality I set)

I need to set shadow samples to 64 in those lights get those grain/noise removed from shadow. Unified sampling doesn't resolve it.

Is it broken in 3ds max? (both in 2013 and 2014 version?) or it is supposed to work like that, by setting higher shadow sample for lights?
