onespirit5777:
OK - I figured it out - In the scene mode attributes -

type - RayDepth and select Int

ah! anim8or has ambient occlusion?!

>_<  sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

I've been gone too long.

Good example onespirit5777 for the simple fact you have front and back printed on the sphere and of course reflected back to front and upside down.

I think for my next experiment I will combine all three attributes : reflections, glass and the mysterious sounding AmbientOcclusion ... excuse me I have to go as I have to look up Occlusion in the dictionary.

Already attempted reflections and glass on one material. No go. However, Occlusion will work with either material.

TIP: kill the specular in materials when using AmbientOccluder

KiwiNM8OR:
Thanks for the tip VBSmiles as I usually use a high setting for the specular in materials to brighten the objects I want to reflect. This seems to aid in seeing the most distant reflection.

I actually hadn't thought of combining the quoted factors on one material so thanks for that too but what I did have in mind was something like this :

It's only a test render but I'm just doing testing stages so I don't know what structure the final project will have yet
