WHoa guys.. Agent said: "This is a cool technique overall, but I still would use my old technique and not use blurry reflections, only because I myself would want realistic relections. (see link in post #8)" You CAN control reflections and transparency EVEN when using blurry transmissions (transparency, like glass) and blurry reflections. All you have to do is set the SPECULAR HUE from either pure black (Renders that materials reflection without any blur) or to pure white (renders that materials reflections or transparency blurry) Any hue in between is a mix. The more black you go the clearer the reflection or transparency will be and the whiter you go the blurrier it will be! The really cool thing about that is for each object you can set the apparent blurr or clearness without worrying about blurred transmissions or reflections screwing up say a car window :)
