Using medium nodes Tweet

[a.boeglin]

Yes I understand that, the only problem is that the roughness also changes the transparency glossiness. If I move the roughness closer to 0, my wax looks like glass. It would be best to separate the transparency roughness from the reflection roughness. Or is there a way to do it with a mix material ? I didn't seem to make it work as the mix material doesn't seem to allow me to add a reflection layer as the blend material would in vray, which is kind of a lack to simulate wood materials or car paint material with multi layered coats.

Another point, I think namings are a bit confusing in octane. Specular material for a transparent material does not make a lot of sense to me. Why not calling it transparent material ?

Hi,

You can use the same types of emission node as you would use for a regular emitter.

hello jai a little problem on light volume it does appear that pass questions why i did wrong, I do not understand
forgive me for my english google
thank you

Your screenshot doesn't show any settings, so I can't tell if anything is wrong here. What are the values for the inputs to the specular material and the scattering medium?

Hi, excuse me here is the detail of the parameter
thank you again

For fog you need a low scattering value, and no absorption. Set absorption to 0, scattering to 1, and the scale input, which is multiplied with these two numbers, to a low value like 0.1.

Merci beaucoup mais alors ces très tres long
mais sur 3gtx 590

Thank you very much but then these very very long
but 3gtx 590

A question on using Medium Nodes... Is there a work around for getting a nice sss effect on single plane geometry? typically this is how trees are modelled & giving all the leaves thickness would create huge meshes, but without doing that medium nodes don't work on single polys.

So any tips & tricks?

[roeland]

No, sub surface scattering requires some thickness at the moment. For single plane geometry you can have translucency if you set a transmission value on a diffuse material.

hey i have a question... if i click the deform button and select "textures" my list of "terrain textures" is empty.. any suggestions?
