Hi!
I'm finishing my space and I did the test rendering...looks like there is a reflection of the windows and some wall on the floor. I thought I made the floor shiny by mistake, but i checked the material and it's carpet. Why do I get the reflection?? Too many lighting fixtures?

Are you sure your floor is carpet? And in the material there is no Reflectivity checked?

Yes, Im sure... I even checked it to wood, just to test it out- I got the same effect - complete mirror reflection of windows, celong and walls

Don't you have two (2) floors in that? one inside the other? Show us a picture with the material / properties of that floor please.

Do as Typhoon suggests and post an image of your material properties. You have either defined the material as reflective or you have not really assigned what you think.
The material name means nothing. You can call a material concrete but it could be set to be transparent.

Hey--I think it looks awesome like that. Very 2001 A Space Odyssey.
But check your material settings. There is a slider bar called "Glossiness". Make sure it's set to zero. It's independent from "reflectivity" but does the same thing. Makes sense, huh? If you do NOT have a materials option bar like this.... well... make/alter an existing "Miscellaneous" material to be your carpet. You get more options with miscellaneous materials.
...I know, it makes no sense. I have never figured out the 2012 material manager. Most counter-intuitive interface.

That is a semi-gloss so it will be reflective.

"unfinished" should be an option for wood.

unfortunately (or infuriatingly, at least,) everything has an explanation. I've only written a little handful of things off to bugs.
It'll have to be a process of elimination to figure out what's wrong with your floor I'm afraid. I would start by changing it to a material you KNOW is not glossy, and go from there. Best of luck.
