Fortinbras79 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Good Morning All! I am working on a 3D Panorama for Oculus in V-Ray and while that's all fancy and well, I am having what I believe to be some very basic problems with a french door's glass reflection. As you can see from the attached files, there is a weird point where the reflections follow a curved path and provide and mirror like reflection of the inside. You can also see distortion that creates a visible gap between the windows mullions that simply is not that big. The window is a single cube (not a plane but a 3D object)...I am using a falloff for the reflection map and you can see all my settings. I am sure this is some stupid facepalm moment when someone points out an obvious error, but for the life of me I cannot seem to solve it...I have spent way too long trying to resolve it and now it's time to ask the forum Please help! Thank you so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Since your already using Fresnel why do you have a falloff map in the Reflection channel, that seems redundant and may be the reason for your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No good reason other than I don't know what I'm doing in regards to those things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Take it out and see if that changes things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dollus Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 change your refraction to 1.01. At 1.45, it's rendering as though you are glazing the door with clear opal mineral and close to Pyrex so the gap is likely just an inner reflection of the divider. Ever try and look through a Pyrex measuring cup? Also, make sure to clear your smoothing groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
