[Max] I need help! / Re: [Solved] Visible reflections in refract channel | two sided materials

I understand what you mean - the backface of the glass is reflecting... but even with the IORefraction set to 1.0 I still get the error. I really shouldnt be seeing any reflection in the refraction pass anyway...Is this a bug?

This is what I get in vray:
Refract


Reflect


Raw


Corona:
Refract


Reflect


Raw


Glass Material


What I want is to be able to remove all reflection & replace sky

I was able to fix this by changing the refraction IOR to 1.0

Im not sure if this is the correct workflow. Any thoughts?

Is there a solution for this? We are getting the same thing, I would like to remove the sky from the glass by using refraction, but the reflection of the sky is built in. Vray defaults are like this, for pipeline purposes this would be handy if I could select the 'raw' refraction without any reflection....

Yes its on. I chose 0.4 so you could see a visible difference. For the test.

Edit: i was hoping i could resume a render later and it stores the denoiser data with it. I dont understand how the denoiser can be totally utilised if i do a 6hour render and it crashes. Probably dont need denoise after that long but im curious as to how it works or if i can reuse the data for a re render  per se with minor changes like color or something.

Hmm thats both coronamod and material?

Im rendering some animations now. Didnt bother with cache just changed two settings in render dialogue (flicker free for animation and uncheck the static noise). Seems really nice so far... only a very slight "light pulse" in the dark shadow areas. Probably could get away with it 95% of the time. Im doing  some tests  this weekend with higher passes ill let u kknow if it is better

Yes, animation. Sorry for the confusion, I should have clarified "when doing my tests" was when I sent the 6,10,16k images to see if it was a memory issue. Since updating to 1.4 Ive had more success rendering the animation. Ill post back if it continues. Thanks for the help!

interesting point you raise, i remember reading somewhere that the denoiser was meant as a post effect. But Im not getting the results I expected...

10 minutes with denoise set to 0.4



I then went to Render Dialogue > Scene > Save/Resume rendering > Save VFB... to exr file. I then cleared the VFB, loaded it back in, denoise didnt work. So I set it to resume for 1 minute and apply the denoise



Much more noisey, which makes sense if its only calculating this data from the second render... not accumulating it from the saved exr. Is there some documentation as to how this data is computed or stored?

The people will be animated (definitely want them separate), so I need different reflections for the floor, windows, ceiling, some panels, each have different gloss etc. Im going to assume there is no correct matte pass available yet for Corona. Also, applying black to everything will not give a -1 Alpha, this is also an issue.

Save VFB option in the Save/Resume rendering section

You can also set it to auto this .exr out in the System > Output autosave section in case it crashes or doesnt save out the RGB

Thanks. That's a good workaround for now.

I do so want all the minor and major reflections in the glass cabinet, floor, windows as well... am i asking too much  i wonder? Lol

Thanks for ur reply.

1. All our machines use the username render
2. Yes read write access for all machines 
3. Yes always use backburner no problems
4. Ill check this tomorrow and update the thread
5. Yes

It is defintely corona. Most likely a ram issue as the errors started happening during  my render tests. I sent a simple  scene forestpro on a plane  at 6k. This renders. Then at 10k... then 16k... it does this  at 16k. Im having unexpexted errors though as well as this which i can post tomorrow . Unfortunately  over the years ive had little success with backburner s strange errors. Usually restarting the license manager or clearing data, restarting pcs or running as admin, updating backburner usually works but since im quite new to corona these errors are foreign to me.
