Hey there,
when refractive objects intersect they do not merge into one solid object. Instead the original shape can be seen in the refraction. Is there a way to prevent that without doing a boolean operation prior to rendering? I know there are nested dialectrics, but for this I would need a separate Material for each sphere (there are thousands).

Intersecting spheres Vdb union Thanks in advance

Hi,
Which plugin are you using?
In C4D you can use the Remesh object as a parent of the spheres, to obtain a unique solid object without intersections.
Otherwise, you could try to use Vectron spheres with boolean union.

ciao,
