Strange Reflection on Glass

[dtpeter2901]

As a test I created small enclosed building with no exterior openings with 2 floors above with no openings and a floor at ground level. I’ve also added in a site topo set 1/2" below the floor level.

On the interior of the building I made 2 set of rectangular walls, one inside of the other. I then added a curtain wall window.

When i walk down the hallway, I’m seeing the white Enscape site groundplane and the clouds and sky in the glass.

Can anyone explain if this is a known issue or what am I doing wrong here.

I have no interior lights.

First image is plan view of the building.

2nd is of the interior north interior hallway looking at the window.

3rd is same without global illumination.

Either way shouldn’t see any sun or clouds in either of these.

Thanks in advance.

I’m having the same issue. objects are in an enclosed interior space with no windows, but i’m seeing clouds and ground plane. Not sure how to fix this.

This is a known issue in the current Enscape version which comes from real-time approximations. We already released an preview/alpha version of an improved version. You’ll find it at the bottom of the download page → “Preview”. It will improve the accuracy of your reflections.

I’m wondering if it will be possible to render reflection and refraction using bitmap or PNG through glass like the picture below?

I have tried this, and as far as i know not yet

Sorry, I’m new to Enscape. Where exactly is the download page?

[Thomas_Willberger]

It’s the download link you received after registering for trial or after purchase.

The download link can also be found within the Enscape ribbon under the About tab. Choose the link for downloads. On the page the comes up showing the current public release version, there is one small line of text below with a text link to see the other versions.

I had a bit of trouble at one time figuring this out. Maybe a Downloads section selectable from the main site menus is needed. Especially with all the great improvements are happening at light speed lately.

…As for this issue…

If not using the preview alpha release yet, wasn’t there a work around for the reflections on interior items by using a section box to constrain the program to only render the view area you need and thus leave out the sky and so forth?
