I can’t seem to stop the Ground Plane from showing up in reflections.
I’ve been doing some testing with Rhino 7 cycles using built-in materials, and whenever I turn the ground plane on to capture the shadows, it also appears in the reflections of shiny materials.This happens even with a custom reflection map set.
Is this the same issue as this post from three years ago?
Ground Plane On - note the grey reflection.
Ground Plane Off

Bizzarely, the thumbnail for the Rhino file displays the reflection correctly, so I’m thinking it could be something to do with my system?
Current implementation is that the ground plane shows in reflections.
That is because the thumbnail I think is with the OpenGL version of the view, and our OpenGL implementation doesn’t do interobject reflection.
Thanks for the confirmation. It would be a great feature to have in the future if individual objects (Including Ground Plane) could be excluded from reflection calculations.
