Hi,

I recenly did this image: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1617464 in C6 Pro and have a question about reflections.

If you look at the gold sphere, for example, you can see the silver one reflected in it which is fine. However, where I would expect to see the sphere reflected again there is just blackness. Is that normal or have I missed a setting that will allow the reflections to show within each other repeatedly - hope that makes sense!

Thanks.

Mark

 Hi Mark,

What you are talking about is the Ray Depth of reflection - that is, how many times the light ray travels back and forth with the reflection information. It is adjustable.

Thanks a lot Mark. I knew there was something I was missing.

Rendering now and it looks a lot better.
