a lot of those images look composited


heres a test i did, kina works

i used raytrace in the reflection slot of my plane and set the Attenuation fallof type to linear, just play with the ranges a little

hope this helps

u say a white background? by that are u saying u used a white environment?? problem is that the plane is reflecting the white environ, which simply blows the reflections out.

i used a slightly blue environ, and my reflection is also only at about 70%

u could also set a color or different environment map in your (planes)raytrace slot, play with those if u want to keep your scene totaly white
