black edge + opacity bug in refractive material

(1/3) > >>

v.p.vlasenko:
1. Black edge where object with refractive material contacts other geometry - image attached.
2. Setting opacity to 0 makes fog like material.
On the second image water material have opacity 0, but underneath surface have blue color.
The third image is a preview but the sphere is still barely visible.

Both problems appear on physical and legacy materials.

Corona V7.

maru:
Could you send us this scene archived with all assets? The uploader is in my signature below.

These things are expected. When you hide the surface (set opacity to 0) you still see the volume.

v.p.vlasenko:
Uploaded 1627392598_black-edge.zip. I simplified the scene and used simple materials - the edge is still visible.

so there is no way to make a hole in let's say "water" surface, except adjusting geometry?
Just to clarify - that a surface with reflection/refraction and absorption without scattering.

maru:
At least one of those objects was heavily scaled. Applying "reset xform" to both the sea and the object fixes the issue immediately.

v.p.vlasenko:
Thanks for the answer - haven't tried reset xform.

What about the second question?

In that scene there was a pool a bit higher than the sea - I need to do sea invisible below that pool, how can I do that? For sea I used a plane with a high scale multiplier in settings (so it go up to horizon), so changing geometry isn't an option.
