reflection in windows for exterior RTRT

[SHCanada2]

the water reflection in the glass (from the backdrop) is distracting.

 

I put some trees on the left (out of view) for the left windows. But for the right windows I have an interior camera pointing that way so I dont want trees there. I suppose I could put them on a layer.

 

I tried adjusting the sun position but it did not seem to make a difference

 

But is there a way to dullen the reflection? or what is everyone else doing?

 

thanks

You could make a copy of your glass material for your user library and then assign that material to the window. This would allow you to alter the properties for that window only.

thanks i will try that.

 

my broader question is, what are others doing?

That's the first thing I would try.

And i certainly will.

 

Eric, it sounded like you have not experienced this problem?

 

I always think to myself, surely I am not the first person to have this issue. and in this case I would have thought every man and his dog doing outside renders would have this issue, which is why I was asking the broader question.

If you use Adjust Material on your glass, reducing the Index of Refraction also reduces its reflectivity.

default 1.52

vs 1.0

I have experienced this issue before but necessarily with glass. As Tea Time suggested, start by adjusting the refraction of the glass.

perfect glad to see I am not the first person to have this.

There was a time in PBR you couldn't get a reflection of Glass , so it looks like they may have gone a bit far in x15's new materials, as it looks like you are using "Mirror" not STD Glass there
