Thanks for the workaround – I wasn’t able to download your file for some reason (“Anonymous caller does not have storage.objects.get access…”), but from your description I was able to modify my own file without the use of the sky object. If you ever hear why a sky object isn’t compatible with a reflecting object using visibility tag, let me know!!!

Appreciate your help!

I’ve attached a simplified file demonstrating the issue with a simple sphere fading from 100% visibility to 0% over 90 frames. If the sphere’s material reflectance channel is switched off, the sphere disappears from view as intended (at frame 85 it is virtually invisible). With the reflectance channel on, though, a white reflection (of the sky object, I think) remains visible at the same intensity throughout the animation, and just the base color of the object fades. At frame 85, the sphere appears a fairly intense white.

Thanks for looking!
