[lassinger]

Hi there,

in this scene is a Object with glass-material and some Lights around...

The reflections on the Glass-Object looks strange and "stairish"...


whats wrong..?


Thank You!

hi, maybe is related to the normal direction or intersections of different geometry
you can try to switch to the info kernel for some check or prepare a simple scene to share with us

hi, in octane you need to add thickness to your glass, otherwise the geometry reacts as big lens with his volume full of glass
i have added an cloth-nurb so you can easily change the thikness and still have the ability of subdivide the geometry , i have also enabled the "fake shadow" option in the specula material so the light can easily go through it:
