Sorry about the duplicate post... I hit the back button out of reflex. While I agree that it is possible, it may not be likely to see the multiple reflections. I wonder if there is some sort of control over the refractive index of the material. I would think there is something which corresponds to refractive index, else you wouldn't see the magnification in each of the facets of the transmissive object. The question is, is this something that we can access and adjust?

That was extremely helpful. Thanks! BTW, when rendering cubes of material it seems like each facet of the sides of the cube has a different reflection of the underlying surface. I.e. suppose I place X objects (small, flat and extruded) on a plane, then place an extruded transparent glass cube on top. Then I look at it in an isometric view... I see X objects in one facet, and X objects in another and each are scaled differently. In other words I'm seeing 2X total, where there are only X objects. Any ideas?

I would be interested in this too. I'm using RW8. I tried looking at the How To section and the last three newsletters without sucess. Basically I want to have an extruded structure, like a pipe, that is transparent and rendered. Objects may be placed inside the tube, so I want to see them. thx in advance, JnC
