check out whats happening see the purple green reflections in the headlight glass. How could we emulate whats happening here in octane render. I dont know if other cars do this in real life but ive seen the aventador do it a lot.
thanks

Unfortunatley OR v3.0x doesn't have birefringence support but... until maybe v3.10 with new OSL. Birefringence is very important because by example: stress-induced birefringence - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birefringence. :)
