path tracer, 3d grass, sky reflection on shading areas, issues!

Hello, I am having a couple of different issues.

  1. 3D grass does not renders fully using Path Tracer;
  2. Sky keeps reflecting too much blue on concrete material under the shades. Note that the wall below the porch, and the square pieces on the lawn are the same material as the main stair (concrete 0.1 roughness almost 100% matte)

Any suggestions?



Hey apisan, for the first image , is it a different geometry? was the original imported from another DCC? with what plugin? Sorry lots of questions but I can’t repro :frowning: with a simple TM file. It would be worthed to report a bug and share your file if possible. For the blue reflection, is it HDRI environment from TM library , if so , which one ?

Cheers
