Not quite sure what you mean by "a window-pane of marble or granite"? I tried
rendering
the scene with a window pane with a very small amount of reflection, about 0.1-0.2%
but
when I added this it sent the render time through the roof. If you mean the window
ledge, yes I know it is very similar to the window sill in colour but that is how they
look in my house. Perhaps I'll change the wood texture and make it a bit darker and
make
the window sill a bit lighter.
