Hello all,
I have a additional problem concerning glass transparency. If I put a light behind a glass plate I have no direct light transmission - what make I wrong. How I can solve the problems with caustic etc. ?

Thank you for your answer - best regards,

Udo

hi, i didn't know if you was talking about plugin or standalone :)
in the standalone the option is at the end of the node editor of the specular material but from 1.11 and above.
in the plugin there is a specific tab in the attribute editor of the specular material ;)
