Yes, the plugin (absence of mind) was compiled from older test back-up project and not fixed color calculation alpha channel. Uploaded the fixed version. Excuse for inconvenience.

For some reason I can't make it work. ComplexFresnel works fine. Am I doing something wrong? Max2015

What version you install? Old 1.0.0 have a bug with color calculation alpha channel, please re-download newer version (1.0.1 - fixed for Corona).

Find some time to play with this plugin. Love it. One little thing i'd like to be improved, is mapable IOR.Film. Is it possible?

Map for Film IOR param? It's possible, but why? When you use thickness map (usual noise or similar), it distort map thickness.

Yes, but somehow i find that variable film IOR gives more pleasant result, than thickness alone. But it may be due to the fact that i tested your plugin only briefly. I'll give it another try.

If map will change the Film IOR parameter, it will already mean that film material not uniform - f. e., soap with chitin inclusion ;) But is possible to implement, I will think about it in future.

BTW, what is the proper way to use Thin Film. Plug it in refl color and adjust fresnel IOR in material or set fresnel IOR to 999 and adjust film IOR in ThinFilm map?
