Uhm... Sorry if my answer sounded aggressive - I didn't mean to sound aggressive and - no offense taken - criticism is welcome. At the moment I am trying to get a better result, but Vue is keeping to frustrate me. On your remark about the ground, I tried to get the ground to only slightly reflective to give me a better effect: Even setting reflectiveness only to 1% results in an enormous amount of reflection - Vue seems to be a bit overreactive when it comes to its settings on reflectiveness or transparency. quite a bit frustrating...
