Hi!
Somehow when i use Nested Dielectrics the condensation droplets get too bright.
The top image shows with nested ON. the bottom with OFF. The droplets have a higher priority.
I don't think this is the desired behaviour, is it?

Hey Marci!
Did you figure this out?
Sorry - the forum notifications are really spotty for me - usually you will get much more immediate response on our discord (at least from me)

Btw did you know Octane has a discord? https://discord.gg/F4WENTG
It's a great place to get very fast feedback or support from me and other Octane Houdini users.
I'd highly recommend it!

A file would be good.marcikola wrote: Tue Jul 21, 2026 1:06 pm hey!
no, didn't figure it out. i think i found a workaround with rayswitch, but it wasn't optimal.
so i still think this is a bug, no?
i can try to provide a file asap
One thing that's required with nested dialectics is that they overlap. Do the droplets overlap with the glass?
And have your tried inverting the priority (making the droplets lower)?
