dielectrics colour problem

rendering from VIZ with RC5. I changed the color of a dielectric material in order to get a blue/green frozen glass effect. The render was unchanged, so I opened the file with maxwell studio and found that the material I used did not have the color changed. When I colored the glass in studio (reflectance 0) it rendered fine. Anyone else had this problem?

Although I was one of the Studio enemmies, I must say that now, I try to do everything from inside Studio. I use the plugin only for the MXS file export.
I suggest you do the same.

translated mats from the plugin may not render as they should in mxcl. if they don't have textures applied it's much better to create the mats in studio and then import them in the host app as mxm.
