Hi,
testing archiviz, and felling missing something…
Just trying to get the sun visible into the room through the windows on the ground…
Wathever the glass used from the DB (glass architectural, or glass fake falloff), no way to have the sun visible with the plugin…

Thought i was doing wrong, so exported the scene to the standalone and… quick test and… sun is visible on the ground… (glass used : fake falloff)…

Any idea ?
Thanks
:)

PS : Should i create a single post with all next coming questions ?
A post per problem would allow people to find quickly answers, no ?

EDIT :Problem desapears when choosing "pathtracing" or "pmc" mode...

hi, always remember to activate the alpha-shadow option in whatever kernel you want to use, otherwise the light can't go through the glass ;)
