SHCanada2 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericepv Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

TeaTime Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 If you use Adjust Material on your glass, reducing the Index of Refraction also reduces its reflectivity. default 1.52 vs 1.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have experienced this issue before but necessarily with glass. As Tea Time suggested, start by adjusting the refraction of the glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbird1 Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 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 M.
