Dark background in mirror reflection

[Gerhard_Interiors]

Hello…

New to Enscape for Sketchup.

Not sure why this is happening, but there is a distinct line in my mirror reflection where the back half of my room is much darker and the colors aren’t rendering correctly. I’ve tried adding lights to this area but that doesn’t help.

This is an internal bathroom with no windows and not outside, natural atmospheric lighting. Any thoughts or suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi @Gerhard_Interiors and welcome to our Forum.

While we do not advice using our latest previews during say important projects while on a deadline, you can give Preview 14 a try by just acquiring that version here. Our latest previews made improvements to (mirrored) reflections, so please report back if you still experience this behavior (as much) afterward.

Also check your mirror material color. If it’s not pure white, it will add a tint to the reflections.

It happened to me also, I was doing a similar scene, and I notice that the mirror has some ghost line that cuts into the room reflection, it cuts of lights and reflections on materials. Very annoying, does not happen on D5 renderer. Solved by masking and adjusting the affected area on Photoshop.

Just to make sure, is this a capture from our latest preview (which includes reflection improvements as mentioned above)?
