Title: Strange reflection behavior?
Post by: scooter66 on 2015-05-05, 11:47:36

Hi all,
I don't understand why there is so differences in reflections between the two images: one with glass in windows the other without them.
The scene is illuminated with a simple corona sun+sky, the glass is a very basic glass.
It looks to me that the reflections are way more "true" without glass in window...... are you with me?
I think that a simple glass can't block the incoming light so much... Am I wrong?
Thank you
Bye
Andrea

Hi, this looks like another instance of this:
"Reflections of light seen through solid glass may appear dark"

Unfortunately for now the only solutions are to use thin glass mode or rayswitch material to exclude the glass objects from reflections.

Thank you Maru for your fast answer.
I will switch to thin glass....
