Iain Denby Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Max 2008. Vray 1.5 I'm rendering a scene with an photo in the environment slot. Any object with reflection in front of this photo renders with transparency instead of the reflection. really strange. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Buckley Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 might be better, mapping it to a plane then and getting rid of it from the environment slot? although I'm not too sure what your trying to achieve, any screenshots would give a better idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Thomas Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Yeah, you can't use a photo set to screen mapping for reflections. It can work fine for refractions, but you will have to find a similar spherical map to use in the reflection override slot of your environment tab.
