Background image should show in reflections
« on: November 06, 2007, 06:33:58 pm »
With the current programming the background image does not show up in reflections.  This looks unnatural as the image below demonstrates.  Is it possible to alter the program so that the rendering engine does take this into account?

If this is not possible, maybe the addition of an addable photoboard background that the user can move into position to get the special effects or specific backgrounds from specific angles.  We can obviously do that now by making our own but a built-in one may be easier, especially for new ones.

I think that is a reasonable request....especially if one wants to have a respectable outdoor scene with reflections

And for those who wish to keep it simple since reflections may cause long render times....include an on/off toggle choice.
