Yes I use a trick!!
My glass is a one face plane with the normals to inside. It is not an specular material.
It is a glossy material with opacity less than white to control the reflection, roughness to black (0) and specular is a taste matter.

Hey that's even better: Architectural glass :)

Thanks for the tip. Cheers,

this is one of the most awesome tips ever! Nice job. It should go in resources and made a sticky so we can point people to it!

Hi again
It is good to observe that the less the opacity is it is darker in the room, and it is a time cost to clear an image like this, but itis a workaround.
I put this example scene http://refractivesoftware.com/forum/vie ... f=5&t=5013 image
It took like 20 hours to get to that result for 4096x4096, in the post it is reduced to the half + I crop it in PS.
It is a non optimized scene but I did some tests in more simple scenes and it took longer than doing it without glass.

hey mate

any chance to post that test scene for the community?
btw looks awesome!

Edit: i don't know what you guys think but in my view 20 hours is really hard for that image.
Have you tested the scene again after optimisation?

No sure if this should be my first post since I have many good things to say about Octane! But the daylight transmission though glass would be a great help using direct lighting (pathtracing is slow and full of fire flies). I've seen an interior daylight simulation scene created in octane - not sure how that was done...

I think I saw a previous post where this was planned for beta R2.3. Refractive, any more accurate idea of when this may become a reality (no pun intended)?

Thanks!
