Visibility

• Visibility Flags:

  These flags determine if an object is visible to specific ray types during rendering.

• Ray Bias:

  This is used to offset the starting point of a ray from the surface of an object.

• Object Alpha:

  This allows a user to determine the transparency of an object. The parameter can also be driven by a texture map, allowing for cutout effects like leaves.

• Double Sided Shading:

  This tells the renderer to apply the object material to both sides of the polygon. This is required for glass materials to render properly.

• Nested Glass Priority:

  This allows you to set the priority for this object where it intersects with another object. A higher number equals a higher priority (i.e. 2 takes precedence over 1). This allows you to correctly render intersecting media like fluid in a glass.

• SSS Set:

  A user can assign this object to an existing SSS set by selecting it here.
