Hi there,
It makes sense not to calculate glossy reflections of glossy
reflections but hard reflections of glossies like in your case should
be ok. It seems xsi has a common raydepth counter for both glossy and
hard reflections and optimizes by only calulating glossies at raydepth
#1.
Ideally the two reflection types should be counted separately.
For working around this you could dump phong refl and build your own
using the reflection_diffuse shader. This has a setting for glossy depth

Hi,
I have an interesting problem.
Watch my picture at:

You will recognize that the glossy reflection in the floor plane will
reflected normal in the sphere.
This seems wrong to me. I expect a reflected floor with a blurred
environment in the sphere.
Actually I use HDRi Environment but this occurs also with a normal textured
environment sphere.
Any ideas if this is a missing feature in the raytracing code?
How is glossy computed? By a shader alghorythm at the end?
