Corona Layered mtl, Base material transparency

[sofiks]

Hi!

I want to visualize bead bracelets(2D array) with different bead colors and materials, but I wouldn't like to create a new array, reflection maps, etc all the time when I want to change a bracelet size. So I created a general array and Corona Layered material which I can use as a 'template' in the future. As a Base material, I just want to create an invisible part. However, I noticed this transparent base material still affects on visible layers of the material (still visible in the refraction for example). Is there any chance to make this base material fully invisible?

On the first screenshot, you can see what a green bead material has to look like, and on the second - how it looks as a layer with a transparent base material

Thanks

For a fully invisible material, try using an empty Corona Rayswitch Material. It should not affect any effects in any way. Let us know here if it doesn't work.
