Translucent walls/panes with no reflection???
Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for some expert help. I'm working on a design for a dedicated home theater. I have everything just right, except for 1 detail... The side walls of the theater will have fabric walls to hide the surround speakers, but we are going to light the speakers so they "semi" show through.

I understand how to make "translucent walls/panes". But I can't find a way to get rid of the reflection?!?!?!

I've searched everywhere and seen a few threads on the "mirror trick". I messed around with colors, textures, the "d" parameter in the .mtl file as well as Ns and Ni, I've gone all the render settings.... and for the life of me, I can not get a surface to put on the sidewalls that will render as TRANSLUCENT w/ NO REFECTIONS?!?!?!?!?!

See pics below... Thanks sooooo much in advance for your help :)
