I used reflect/refract in a material which i no longer use in a scene. When i render it still seems to render the reflect/refract maps which takes a lot of time. How do i find the material which uses the maps? How do i get rid of it?
Thanks!

It wouldn't show up if it wasn't assigned to an object in your scene. If you name your materials properly that is the best way to locate things. If not, you'll have to search through your Material/Map browser to located it and remove it. When your in the browser uncheck Root only.

Hope the scene is not too complex.

Or if you don´t have any other rytrace materials just turn it off for rendering.
