Hi Alan,
The thing is that if I limit the reflection depth to 1, I loose the
look of the render that I'm after.
I sort of understand your second suggestion, however I'm not sure how
I would go about setting that up. Using the Ray Type node? Plugging my
material in the Eyes slot, and the sprite shader in the Reflection slot?
Actually it's not letting me plug the sprite node into reflection...
I'll try to put together an image tonight and send it to you off
list.
Many thanks!
