If it works (works for me) issue lays in your scene setup ... for that you should share your simplified file, just in stage we can see the issue. Use blend-exchange.com ... BTW your glass object is using Shade > Smooth, right? | |
| Aug 21, 2023 at 6:31 | comment | added | Gordon Brinkmann | I agree we have to take a look at the file, because from your information it seems as if you have done everything correct and it is not easy to determine where the error could be then. As e3_productions said, maybe it's the light bounces... to me the render looks a bit like it's Eevee, not Cycles (but of course you could not have set the caustics options then), so the light bounces might be (one of) the problem(s). The shadow of the glass seems strangely opaque. | |
| Aug 21, 2023 at 6:19 | comment | added | Hazrd | Do you have enough light bounces in your render settings (Render Settings > Light Paths > Max Bounces)? Sometimes not having a sufficient amount of light bounces can cause this depending on the complexity of the scene. Adding the blend file to the question will help us to take a closer look. You can use: Blend Exchange. | |
