    Hello!
    In Blender I’ve created a world shader using the Light Path node splitting the visible part of the camera vs the reflective/lighting part of the shader as is shown in the Verge3d manual.

    This seems to work fine until I use it in combination with the ReflectionPlane when weird things start to happen. It looks like the ” is Camera rays” are visible in the ReflectionPlane.

    Is this a known limitation or am I maybe missing something :D ?

    Can you share the example file?

    Sure thing, I changed the colors in the worldshader to make it more visible, attached the file below (made in Blender 4.0)

    So, where did you find an issue? The reflection plane is reflecting your visible backgroud map B (and all visible objects) while A is used as an environment map for the image-based lighting (IBL). Everything is acoording to the nodes logic. The reflection plane reflects what you see on the screen, so-called screen-space reflections.

    Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.

    If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.

    Yes, this is proper behaviour, you just need to add on environment something that would reflect and increase size of the reflection plate so it cover all your water mesh.
