Hi,

this is slowly driving me mad... I hope someone here can come up with an solution to my problem:

I have placed a simple creature onto a ground plane. I assigned a useBackground Shader to the ground plane. I added some lights, of which only ONE casts (soft) shadows.

When I render, there is a something on the ground that looks like a solid shadow in addition to the soft shadow. The blue color comes from my camera environment color. I would like to get rid of that hard, solid "shadow" on the ground.

Thanks for all suggestions!

that looks like a reflection. in the use bg shader there is a reflectivity sentting. make sure you set it to 0, i also put the reflect cut out to 0


hope that helps

Hey Mike, that was it!

I had set reflection to 0 prior to the render, but I didn't know about the reflection limit.

Thank you very much!
