another attempt to use the "silk" setting. The texture of the parquet is adjusted with maximum gloss, SILK gives an IMITATION of the reflections of bright places in a matte varnish. But as I said before, these are reflections of non-light surfaces. These are reflections of LAMPS and light sources. In my scene, these are spheres and hemispheres, they are reflected in the gloss of the parquet and give a light moire on the floor. Therefore, there is no coincidence of light walls with reflections in the parquet. The walls are not reflected as they should be in reality. Therefore, SILK is most effective in the angle against the window. Then Bright light sources imitate the moire light spots on the parquet most vividly. I don't use sunlight from the program. I make artificial light outside using bright sources. They give reflections in the floor. But still, SILK makes the picture more complicated and interesting than the standard setting. There is no time increase in the rendering time (this picture was loaded for 15 hours, mainly due to the weight of the models, not from the fixtures). And most importantly, there is no change in the mirrors, they look the same with the new settings. Faint reflections in shiny surfaces disappear completely, and objects become opaque. But there is an effect for parquet, although the effect of matte varnish cannot be used subtly, everything is rough.
reflections of light sources are highlighted in red
