LuxRender 1.5 Release Candidate

Yep, but Cycles does not, that was my point. It’s a neat feature.

In Cycles, you can at least omit the interior edges of glass objects from visibility by use of the transparency shader and a simple trick with lightpaths and backface data.

The image they have for priority looks better than the simple overlap, but it still has a very noticeable line in the middle (I’m not sure if that is what you would want).

Looks ok to me - exactly as I would expect it to look. If you boolean two hard spheres together - the intersection is a sharp perfectly circular seam.

You get exactly the same sharp intersections with CPK renditions of molecules.

The only time you wouldn’t get a sharp seam is if you somehow smoothed the intersection (e.g. using phong shading or subdivision surfaces)

The volume on the right is absorbing a little light (notice how it’s slightly greenish and darker than the background). So of course it is also changing the color in front of the red sphere.
If you use a volume without absorption you won’t get any visible lines.

Is it true that KeyShot uses Luxrender engine?

Moreover I like new LuxCore system. It so fast than LuxGUI. Thanks!

I don’t think that it does :stuck_out_tongue: (Not sure though?)
