I've struggled with this one for some time and I don't see any way to do this and it's very frustrating. What I have is a pre-made sci-fi prop with a glass window where it would be equally nice to just have it be a viewscreen. So I go in to change the material properties to put an AVI video on the area that used to be glass. Originally, the material components consisted of Diffuse and Reflection components. Now I only want it to have a Diffuse component. How do I delete the Reflection component? I can change the reflection texture, but I see no way to delete it.

How do I delete the Reflection component

By un-ticking Reflection?

It was never ticked in the first place. But the reflection texture still mixes with the diffuse texture. I've experimented with this by chaging it to all black or all white. Even with the Reflection checkbox off, which is was from the beginning, you can clearly see the texture. Checking reflection causes a completely different effect. When I do that, I see the room reflected in the viewscreen.

Well if it's a reflection map..you might try clicking the little garbage can icon down by the UV Ref. tab, below the Strength setting slider.

That's it. Thank you so much. I had no idea there was a garbage icon there or that it had anything to do with those maps. I knew there must be a simple answer, but just not an obvious one.

Took me awhile to find it too....;)
