      Hi,

      When I add a reflective layer in the material editor to an object the object reflects the surrounding like I intended. But it also seems to make the colour a bit transparent which I don´t want. Maybe it´s not transparency but it becomes much lighter. The colour is a yellow gold colour which I want to be strong. When adding transparency it becomes lighter, which I don´t want.

      I don´t know if this makes sense to anyone, but any help would be great! I want the gold to reflect but not turn into a lighter gold colour.
      Thanks!

      By the way; is REFLECTION the same as GLOSSINESS?

        If any other amature is interested, I found clicking skylight reflection on and then adjusting the colour to be of great benefit! The colours in the scence are now not lightened up and I can´t see any reflection from the blue sky.

        Why "reflection on" would turn the reflection off is beyond me, but I´m still new at this and I´ve been wrong before 😄
