Object surfaces reflect environment?
When I do a "quality 3" or "quality 4" 3D photo rendering of objects, the objects' surfaces in the resulting image show reflections of the objects around them. By "objects" I mean .OBJ models that I've loaded as Furniture.

How can I make their surfaces matte and non-reflective?

Nothing I've tried has eliminated these reflections.

I tried reducing the material value "Ns" in the objects' .mtl from 750 to 150. That made no difference.

I've tried changing rendering values in every rendering mode I can find:
- when using the default SunFlow settings
- when using the default YafaRay settings
- when using Enko Nyito's "Photo-video rendering 2.5.1" plugin
- when using Enko Nvito's "Advanced settings of photo rendering (v1.4)" plugin

Hopefully I'm overlooking something simple.


Is there a way I can upload an image so you can see this effect? I don't see an "attachment" option in the forum's post editor. Or have I not yet made enough posts?
