Hi all, im rendering a image and have ice on the floor mat, and a wall next to the ice. I want the ice to be reflective and it is how ever its or the boards is causing the image to look like i have 2 walls because of the walls reflection on the ice. is there a way to set a materiel like this wall not to reflect or be reflected?

Inposer i could turn off Visiable in Raytracing and this stopped the object from being refelcted, i guess thats what im trying to figure out if it sposible in Octane i did try and turn of fthat option in poser but it still was shown reflected on teh ice surface.
thanks

Increase the roughness on the ice material - that will fade out the walls reflection
As far as I know there is no way in Octane to disable the reflection of the wall directly as you can in Poser

You can change the material to "diffuse" to turn off reflections too. Or turn the "specular" pin down to 0 on a "glossy" material.

Octane is unbiased, that means it renders in a realistic way. Settings for materials like ice therefore have to be physically correct. Chances are that your ice material is way too reflective.
Decrease the specularity to get less reflection on your ice material.
