Opacity Maps Not working

[philip kelly]

Good morning.
I always think nearly everything is Memory related in Vanate,but this worked before but not now.
TIt renders fine in the normal buffer, but not in vantage and I have the Opacity on in the advanced settings.
Is there anything else i am missing to they the curtain showing through the glass?
Thank you

Phil

Vantage has always supported only "clip opacity".
Can you show us what you mean by "the curtain showing through the glass?"

Hi, thanks for posting. Opacity is supported only in clip mode. Could you share a bit more details about your scene and materials with screengrabs if possible. You could also share a test scene here or trough the support contact form.

I restarted the scene and max and it seems to have worked, I also changed the lighting to another agnel and it worked this time, But what is clipped Opacity exactly?
Thank you

regards

It means the opacity can be only 0% or 100%. Usually this kind of opacity is used to cut leaf geometry in the form of a leaf, specified by a black and white leaf texture.
This kind of opacity can be handled during ray intersection, so it's more efficient than handling partial opacity.

If the issue comes up again, we will need a max scene, textures and step by step instructions to reproduce the issue (or a video screen recording).
