Title: CoronaLightMat behind refractive glass turns black
Post by: Muadib on 2016-11-02, 18:01:56

i´ve just updated and having bit of trouble with the scene im working on:

my main light source is a mesh placed inside of a glass shell, sort of like a neon light.
if i use the proper light material and refractive glass, the light objects within turns black.

regular material with light emission works but that case i cannot get enough light for the surrounding.

am i doing something wrong here?

i tried to reproduce this and it only occurs when the environment map is on, either hrd or corona sky.

thanks ondra,

well, it seems odd:
i just copied the objects and the copy works. weirder still, the light is still being reflected even on the black version.

ive attached the scene and the rendering
