I have turned cast shadows off on the stack of pills and the bars. I have turned off receive shadows on the bottle. Why do I still see the reflections on the far side of the bottle? Lighting suggestions are appreciated.

Not sure about the reflections but I sure can relate to this image. Tom

I'm not 100% sure but, did you turn off the shadows in your lighting?

Maybe I'm not seeing what I should, but is it the "reflections" of pills and bars your talking about? I'd say it was an issue about reflectivity of bottle material not shadows. This pic is a great depiction of another kind of loss of freedom to be what you could be/could have been.

Bryce glass...no matter what you do, once it is "glass", it will reflect, no matter what. One of my pet peeves. AS

Slap my head..Thanks AS. It was driving me crazy..(short drive)

I mean yeah, I guess being reflective is just a natural-world attribute of glass. But, this is one of those things I wish we could change in the 3D world of Bryce. It doesn't happen often, but there are times when it would be helpful to turn off a glasses reflection absolutely, completely. AS

If you turn up the metallicity value, the glass will only relfect on the edges and not in the center.
