  • Reflection of a Window in a mirror

    Hi all
    I have search for a while, but not found such a topic...
    I am rendering a simple scene of a bad as you see below.



    I have Vray light on my window. The question is why through the window i can see the sky and in the mirror i have this white reflection?
    Many thanx in advance!

    Do you have "affect background" ticked in your vray colour mapping rollout?

          You need to enable reflective gi caustics, which I believe are off by default. Not the photon caustics - the ones in the Indirect Illumination (GI) rollout.

            Try unchecking 'affect specular' in the light properties.

              Thanx all for your replies...
              I have tried a couple of things but the true is that by the Vray lights there is a Affect specular option. When the option is off everthing seems to be all right.
              I wish u good luck!
              I will post the result in the Image uploads section.
              C u around!
