Removing reflections from a Rect light onto a ground plane?

[dmarques1177]

I have a ground plane reflecting my scene, but I would like it not to reflect my lights that are around it.
Even when I unlink these on the relationship editor the reflections of the lights still show up on my ground plane.


I want the lights in the scene, and also my reflections from on the ground plane, but I don't want the lights to reflect on the ground plane.

simple enough right? What am I missing here...

Excuse me what I meant was:

"I want the lights in the scene, and also my reflections from them onto my object, but not on the ground plane"

OK nevermind, the reason this was happening was because my RT wasn't reloading when I did the light linking, had to render a regular render to see the difference.

So... yea it works light it should work when you un-link the light and the ground plane.



still this bothers me because my RT render is buggy

Hi,

Can you give me the exact steps to reproduce this?
Also what version/os/maya are you using?

BTW have you tried to mark the light as invisible?
