Ground Plane

[raymondwganderson]

Learning Arnold a little each day but can't figure out what is going on with my Ground Plane.  Certain environments leave the Ground Plane slightly visible, whilst others far less.  see attached screenshots and 1 test render.

I created the Plane in Max and used the matte node  Just can't seem to get the Ground Plane to be completely invisible. 

Thanks.

Better use native Arnold shaders then 3ds max. So, you can try https://help.autodesk.com/view/ARNOL/ENU/?guid=arnold_for_3ds_max_ax_surface_materials_ax_matte_html .
Also, it seems ground plane is too small so it cuts shadows.

@RGhost77 ,

                             Sorry for the late response I have not been at the machine,  Many thanks for your suggestion, Tried it out and now the Ground plane is far better [ also made it larger ] so all now good.  I have so much to learn about Arnold so every day is a learning day.

Cheers.
