Hey all, I am new to octane renderer and really enjoying it. I'm using it with 3DS Max.

Previously I've only used CPU renderers and I think now when it comes to value for money the gpu might be the way forward.

Anyway, I was doing some product renders using Corona before and I'm wondering how in Octane I would achieve a similar transparent look, i.e Very clear, with strong reflections? Everything behind any transparent material I've tried is always dark or somewhat clouded.

I used the live DB to get an acrylic material as a starting point but can't get the clarity to be the way I need it, my client commented asking for it to look more like Corona due to how clean/clear the glass was.

Screen grabs of the portion im talking about. See how all the internals are super clear and not blurred/clouded with corona? Is there some key setting im missing here? I've done a lot of experimentation and I can't quite get the corona glass look.

Any advice appreciated! I would love to be able to do this sort of look because then I'm going all in with Octane and dropping Corona if I can. Need the client to request I use Octane and not corona lol :)

Many thanks,

Jonny.
