  Strange Reflections (Message 1 to 4 of 4)

Is this a bug or am I missing something? The bottom of the "J" reflects the sky
sphere but everything is enclosed in a box. If I get rid of the sky-sphere it
reflects black. This should just reflect the box texture.

I've posted a pic to p.b.i.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

You'll probably need these to be able to run the render...

Actually, everything happens outside the box. The z co-ordinates of the
box are 0 to 1000
        box { <-1000,-1000,0>, 1000  
but the camera is at <0, 0, -10> and the objects are also translated to
negative z.

Try moving the container box to { <-1000,-1000,-1000>, <1000,1000,0>}
(but you then end up with a nasty reflection of the box's top edge.)

Thanks.

Duh. This is what happens when you work on something when you haven't had enough
sleep  ;)
