Hi Paride,
any update on this one?
Also in old versions of octane I could have alpha shadows off and sunlight would still shine through the glass. Now it has to be on all the time.

HEre is the scene

when the object is in the shade glass is not clear in AO mode even with very low AO distance

Also in octane 4 I could turn off alpha shadows and still see objects well lit behind the glass with the sunlight. Now it always msut be on

Thank you
