Reflection problem.

2005-04-15       - By John Norman

Hello guys,

A quick question.
I have a glass door with a label on it. Label image > color to alpha > invert >
material.
So far so good.
Now when I get an image to drive the reflectivity, I get a reflection on the
label area, too.
I am sure this is simple, but I can't figure out how to cut the reflection from
the label image area.
I know there are other ways to get this done, by using another object or by
rendering in passes, but if someone has a solution, I sure would like your help
.
Thank you.
