No offence meant. I just thought it interesting. Sometimes I need brain exercise!

Or how do you make accurate sky reflections?

Can´t help you there, sorry.
But you can allways cheat, putting a 3d tree behind the camera so it reflects in the window.

OK.

Karl?

I made a test and posted my results here:

We'll have to talk with Abvent on those forums to discover if the behavior is by design. But, it seems that the workaround today is to use the 'classic' workarounds of either including the sky image as partially opaque texture in the shader or creating a wall or semi-cylinder behind the camera and onto which the image to be reflected is applied.

Cheers,

I used to hate the old Artlantis version, which is now called "classic", but the new generation, starting with Artlantis Render is a huge improvement, both for rendering quality and for user interface. And the ArchiCAD models finally come in correctly mapped.

But for animation (movies, panorama's etc...) you'll have to wait for Artlantis Studio. This is in beta right now 😉 but it has been talked about on the Abvent forums.
