Hi guys,

Is anybody else having issues with the Principled Shader's refraction color?
I can't seem to reproduce the doc's illustration -



My refractions are pretty color-less, even when I set the transdist parm to different values and play with different transcolor values.

Perhaps it's a bug or maybe I'm missing something.
The Mantra ROP is set to PBR rendering engine. Everything is pretty default.
Build H16.0.600

Thanks!

Go to your rop, under the shading tab is a checkbox to enable absorption… why this is defaulted to unchecked I cannot understand. I've already had a couple people waste time in their day trying out wtf was going on before I noticed what was happening.

Well that was 2 hours I can't get back.

Thanks for this. I now feel sane again.

Best
