Incorrect Reflections

Hello.

I started using Stager more and more, mainly as help on still-image retouching, or for creating visuals etc. 
Learning curve is pretty simple, especially when coming from Dimension. 

The price is still too high, and I think this should be part of the normal CC offer, as it is an essential tool for retouchers.

 

Anyway – 

Setting up a visual of a simple little juice bottle, I was mostly happy with the results, especially with the upper part of the bottle. Even a friend working with C4D was impressed with the render.

The only real problem is the reflection.
It seems that gets generated befor the glass / refraction / shadows on the main object, and therefore looks completely wrong. The reflection should be generated after taking the main object into consideration.

Is there anything I am missing?

 

thank you,

 

Stefan.

Hi @enamic5! Thanks for letting us know about this issue! It looks like this reflection error is happening with shiny stone SBSAR materials. This information has now been passed along to the engineers so they can investigate. It might take some time for them to figure out what had happened.

I tried with new version of Stager (medium render). IMHO looks better

Hello. Thank you. Sure can do – 
Ray Tracing preview already shows the wrong reflection/ I through that would be corrected on Render, but it did not, unfortunately.
