Hello

Doing a bathroom scene with fluid animation for a product presentation..and as it involves indirect lighting I need to use pathtrace for rendering..

In the scene I have a mirror with a light source at the back...which illuminates the concrete wall around it...but in the reflection in the shower glass this lighting effect is totally missing..only the light source itself can been seen...

Is there a way around this render error?

What is missing in the shower glass reflection?
Glass has lower reflection IOR compared to mirror surfaces so the reflection will always more subtle.

At the front the light illuminates the concrete wall...in the reflection it does not illuminate the wall...only the outline of the light source is lit...

Seems like a false alarm (o;

When I bump up the light power really high I can also see the lighting of the wall in the reflection...

Guess it needs more than 10k samples to see something..

It is visible but very subtle. You need to increase IOR to make it more visible.
