Anyone have trouble with volumetrics rendering through objects with VRayMat glossy reflections? This is my first work with volumetrics so any other problems to be mentioned would help too.

Thanks in advance,

yep I remember that too…I think the problem was actully bigger then that…they rendered through regualar vray mats that didn’t even had reflections :frowning:

so I ened up doing the volumentric as a different pass…w/ scanline and comp it in post…using an alpah chanell to mask it out where needed.

that was w/ 1.09n…doesn’t sound like that was fixed…or maybe I just didn’t figure out the right way to do it

Cool, thanks for the info Paul :smile: I think you’re correct about it being bigger than just VRay. IT even happens in scanline with a Raytrace material.

BTW, it’s the Ornatrix plugin I’m having the problem with. I can just choose to render the hair from the effects panel and it should work out fine.

Thanks,
