Hi everyone,

I am trying to use the gather function in my shading network to send rays in the oposite direction of the surface normal. By that I am trying to create a very cheap translucency or SSS effect. Works pretty well.
My problem is that as soon as multiple objects are intersecting, I am getting very high values in the intersecting areas. Does anybody know a way to get around this? Loop over every alembic primitive separately maybe or just “gathering” information only from the object that have the specific material assigned?

Thanks everyone and all the best,

Sascha
