 Is that an environmental reflection from some HDRI map? Because it looks like
that, and if that’s the case it’s a pretty normal thing.

 Environment mapping probes a spherical mapping of the image from the object’s
faces in the object’s local space, if you were to merge the 3 cubes into a
single object, without actually merging any of the points, it would look more
similar to the box on the right.

 hi everyone.

 

 there is something that i didn't  understood with reflection behavior.

 If you look to the picture, if you see the 3 cube on the left , you can see
the reflection "tiled" but if you get the same surface but on the same object
the reflection "looks" more acurate.

 

 It's me or it's normal ? if i observe around me, the right cube looks better.

 

 I guess i have to deal with passes to get what i want. but if there is
another way to do it..... tell me.

 

 Thanks Harry.
