OTOY Forums

Hi all.
Here we go again.
I don't know is it a bug or a feature...But i love Specular material more and more.
Just changed "Plane Orientation" from +X to -X.

It's expected. Needs normals which are pointed toward out of volume.
Don't use planes, use boxes if you want exact same glass effect.

What a you talking about ? Volume object ?
This is not a volume it's a simple 4-point polygon plane with glass material.
Download scene file please.
Other renders don't have this problem (i-ray,c4d render,arnold render)

glass need to have a volume in order to look like a glass.

Thank you. I know it.
The post is not about it.

Ok can you please ask in general forums? That's not about plugins.

Thank you for response. The problem is not related to plugin or Octane.
It's a C4D problem of screwing up Normal direction of polygon when using "Plane Orientation". I just was surprised that other renders can handle it easy without artifacts. So apology for a harsh post.

I don't think there's a bug or problem on plugin. It just normalizes the normals how you tweaked.

I want to go even further, for me it's a feature, we can have negative volumes, air volumes inside fog volumes, infinite water planes and optical simulations thanks to this "feature", just to give some examples
If you don't need this, just use a glossy with falloff opacity.
