Small refraction in a reflection problem

[muoto]

Hello,

i got a small problem :

i have a 360 environnement image
i have a ground plane with a refraction map (gradient map) on it to create a vanishing floor
when i place for instance an object with reflection on it, it doesn't relfect the "gradient" transparency i placed on the floor, so i have a full opaque reflection of the ground and then the environnement.

any ideas why ?

thanks !

Why not use opacity mapping rather than refraction?

Hmm..good question... will check out if it helps !

edit : it did help a bit, only problem is that now, the alpha channel doesn't have the gradient anymore !
