My ground is reflecting too much of what I want reflected.

I'm not sure how to explain it, but as it is, if you just click the "add reflection" wacro for the default poser floor, you get a reflection for sure. but it goes on and on. not like a typical "floor" that generally stops reflecting something a couple inches away its surface. It acts more like a mirror instead of .. i dont know. a shiny floor ? lol

when i see subsurface scattering effects for skin, you can see how the glow goes kind of "deep" into the cube ( or candle in one example ), and then turns off. Thats what I am wanting my floor to do but have no clue how to do it!

If anyone can help I would be so grateful. :)
