Ok I am running into an issue with specular materials. In the images below you can see that when I have my Glass layer turned on the checkerboard behind the glass does not show, yet you can see other objects that are farther back. If I move the checkerboard back far enough they will eventually show up. What is keeping them from showing up when they are closer to the glass?

I not quite following you. However, have you got the specular material Fake Shadows and Affect Alpha turned on? Also, try reducing your Ray Epsilon.

Ray epsilon was it. I had adjusted it for some bad normals and did not reset when I fixed the normals. I will not divulge how much time I spent on that one :oops:
