Urgent_DOF & Reflections

[Bobijoe]

Hi guys, 1rst topic in here, nice community.

I'm currently working on an Mental Ray animation, and have a big issue with the mental ray DOF.
I want to render a simple black plastic (blinn) with 0.1 of reflectivity.
When the DOF is off, no problems, the plastic is like I wish.
The problem is when it's on, the black plastic gets 100% reflective, for some reason...

I tried to switch for a Phong, but no results ...

HELP that animation is due to next sunday !

Thanks in advance,

Do your DOF in comp and use Puppets depth shader...it works very well with reflections!

Cheers

Try turning off reflection on your material, render it out. Then render out a reflection pass at 100% reflectivity, and in compositing you can adjust the opacity to get the results you want.
