Reflection Override

[glorybound]

I am trying some HDRI's that I purchased awhile ago, but never used. The HDRI comes with a blurred, smaller in size exr, for reflection. I put the HDRI in a V-Ray Dome, and the reflection exr in the V-Ray reflection override. All is good, but I don't want to see the reflection in the background; I want it invisible. If I wanted the HDRI invisible I would obviously check invisible, but this isn't an option for the reflection override. What to do?

I think peter guthrie did a test with blurry hdr vs. normal one. As far as I remember he got better results with the non blurred version and it wasn't much slower to render. (If I'm wrong here please correct me)

Regarding your post I don't understand why the reflection override map would even show up in the background. At least it shouldn't.

It shows in mine, however if it doesn't make much of a difference, I won't worry about the blurry reflection.
