3d Reflection issue

[3vangelica]

I made this, just passing the time... but it highlighted an issue I don't know how to solve.
In the circled area there is a magenta reflection. When you use a highly reflective material, it reflects a grid with cyan & magenta numbers (c7, d4, e8 etc.)
How do I remove this grid and/or reflect the actual environment?

fyi, I'm using photoshop cc.

In case people don't know what I'm talking about, here's an example...
A numbered dark, light grid is reflected.

the chrome is reflecting off something in the background? if you move the pane around does it change? I tried moving the logo a bit and was able to catch the grass reflection but for some reason I cant seem to have the logo facing forward and grass reflection at the same time.

If i move the pane and/or the object it reflects what looks like the dark, light grid you see when you're using a transparent layer. Only this grid is BIG and it has grid numbers in each square.
Maybe it's a bug of some kind and I should re-install photoshop?
I never had this with cs6, and I haven't seen anyone else with the same problem?

That seems weird, maybe there is a setting you can change but I couldn't get it to reflect the way I wanted either

Unfortunately, I've been through all the settings I know about. Preferences and View. I've tried turning everything on and everything off but nothing gets rid of it. I even tried setting Transparency Grid to None in case it was actually somehow reflecting the transparency grid but that didn't work either.
What exactly did you want it do? Maybe I can help you even if you can't help me?

It's been awhile since I used PS 3D...I started my 3D journey with PS 3D but moved on to Blender, but that's another story...

To have a good reflection you need to learn how to use the IBL feature (Image based Lights).
Have a look at these to have an idea how to use it (don't forget that you want only the extrusion reflective so select that part only to apply the IBL on)
