Hi everyone,
I'm using max 6 and Vray
I've been trying to model a hot tub/spa inside a wooden summer house with large windows. The light from the IES Sun comes thru the windows and should partially light the hot tub both above and below the water line.
The water is a Vray glass material.
The problem is that the water object either allows all the light through with no refraction/shadow of water on side of tub, or doesn't allow any light to pass below the water line. I've tried making the water from a Standard Material with opacity set to 40% but it seems that Vray doesn't like it and will only do it totally transparent or totally solid. If amyone can help i can send images of what I mean, or the .max file to anyone.

thanks in advance folks
