Default background visible through transparenies

Hi everyone,

I have a recurring problem with transparencies with mental ray for 3DS max and have had the same problems with mental ray for XSI.

I frequently use a background image with camera visibility off for reflections (or I use an environment). However, with transparencies the background image is rendered into the object instead of the background colour.

The image attached shows an example of this.

Does anyone know a way of stopping this happening???

I have had the same problems in XSI when I turn the primary rays of a background object off.


Cheers,
Antony
