Hey,

I'm having trouble with relflections in Maya with Vue. I'm rendering a reflective airplane in a Vue xStream environment. The scene looks good but the reflections are ugly and nowere near smooth. When I render the plane in Mental Ray it looks nice, with Vue it sucks.

I could do different layers, but I was hopen to stay clear of that with this scene.
It's not in render settings from mental ray (raytracing is high enough also final gather), and in Vue render settings I didn't find anything.

Does anybody have a clue? What am I'm overlooking.

Have you tried turning on "Re-Trace Subrays" in your render settings? It's part of the Texture AA render settings. Also, why is the material under the plane reflective in the first place. Is this just some effect you're trying to achieve?

Solved it by using a different renderlayer with a panoramic render as reflection map, also turned of interpolation of reflection in maya mia material.
