VRay Reflections

Well, I've been tryin to teach myself compositing, so I did this test render, but as you can see, I have no reflections.. Just seems pretty blurry..

Anyone know how I can fix this? :S

too much glossiness in your material maybe? not enough reflection value? could be many things..

I'm sorry about that. Here's the material. I have tried different levels of reflection as well, just makes the color whiter. :?

**EDIT**
I think it may be some setting I haven't turned on or something, because for some reason even when i slap the .HDRI into the reflection map I get no reflections :S

Try putting the falloff in the "Reflect" slot instead of the "reflection glossiness" slot. And then turn down the refl. glossiness value a little.

Edit: forgot to say: in the falloff parameters rollout use fresnel instead of perpendicular parallel.

I think just maybe its the fall off. I could be wrong dont hold me to that but try taking the fall off off and see wht happens.

er.. what linsen said should work; if not then something isn't right with what your doing; if all else fails, remove all textures and change the color thing next to reflection to white
