CineRender - Odd thing: Elements beyond glass are invisible

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 09:40:27 GMT

First of all I want to say hello to everyone! I am new here! Quick intro: My name is Rilwan I am a 3D vizualiser/illustrator at a Hungarian architecture firm. Now...

CineRender - Odd thing: Elements beyond glass are invisible...

I don't know how best to describe this, but I am setting up a rendering for work the strangest things are happening to my transparency. and I can't seem to fix this. Perhaps someone here has ran into this situation before and knows a way out.

Basically: Door And Window elements which stand beyond a transparent glass parapet (balcony barrier) seem to disappear/invisible. As in they are simple not visible through refracting through the glass. Their complete shadows are visible. But the element themselves are invisible. Ask for more Screenshot I can add them

So Yeah! This was actually the first thing I checked to look at Ray Depth and Threshold, and this did not help my situation at all. I tried moving the slider to various values. What else could affect this if it is not Ray Depth? Thanks for helping me.

Rilwan:

The Ray Threshold and Ray Depth have typically been the culprits. A few things you could try:
1. If the glass is not an ArchiCAD surface, try substituting a default glass to see if it is a Surface issue.
2. Try some of the standard CineRender Scenes (ex: Outdoor Daylight Medium (Physical)) to see if that changes the result.

Thanks for adding the signature.
