finalRender - Glass and indirect light plus reflections

Ken Walton · February 19th, 2004

I searched this forum and found out that excluding my glass from the finalRender accelerator engine would let indirect light pass through my windows, but my reflections seem to be gone now as well. Is there another way to let the light through without, in one way or another, "removing" it from the scene? Are there parameters in the fR-Glass material that need to be changed? I can post images if someone needs an example of what's going on...

Okay - I put a fRaytrace material in the reflection spot and it seems to work... Is this the way?

There is a known issue with fR-Glass where GI doesn't pass through it. Convert your material to fR-Advanced and that should solve your problem.

That's what I just finished doing (after that last post) and its working like a charm... You the man though Delfoz!
