Has anyone else had this problem?

I'm using maya 4.5 and the mr plugin. When i do, I no longer have control over the reflection of other scene objects. thats is to say, when rendering with mr, no matter what the object render stats properties are, the objects always reflect!

is there another way to exclude an object from being seen on relfections of other materials?

You can turn of reflections by, going into the attribute editor and in the object tab (not the shape tab) select mental ray then select the Flags options. In the Flags options deselect tha Derive from Maya and then select no for Trace, that shoud do it.

Hope this helps.
