    I have a mirror that is reflecting glass window openings black. I don't have any window lights and I cranked the Max Depth up as high as 20. Anything else I should check? if I turn the window glass off, it reflects fine.

    - Do the windows look normal when you view them directly?
    - Did you try and recreate a pane of glass and the glass material, to see if your material or object might contain mistakes?

      Something odd is going on. The VFB window rendered fine, with the pane of glass off, but when I open it in PS, it's black still. I save both the reflection and specular elements, so something is wrong there.

        So even when the glass is hidden, it still is a black reflection in the mirror, but only in photoshop?

          Yes. I rebuilt the glass and it seems fine, now. Very odd!

            Probably some matte/refl option of some sorts in the vray object properties, that got accidentally ticked.
