Dark rough glass

Post by Sharlybg »

This is a known issue since a moment now. And even if we manage to live with that thanks to feature like shadow color it is still anoying to deal with high roughness glass surfaces. And it is even hard when you have homgenous volume in the mix.

If disney material in luxcore had multiscatter ggx this problem should be solved, unless there is some other trickery going on.

I think it would be easier to fix this in the rough glass code first.
Currently the disney material in Lux can't even be used to represent glass.
