Hi everyone
I've just started using Maxwell again after a long gap (in which i used Vray) and are currently trying to work out why software that is supposed to simulate real light cannot produce realistic refraction. I'm actually trying to make a yacht with slightly tinted glass and at the moment the sunlight doesnt seem to be passing through the glass to the other side. In Vray one would just click 'affect shadows' in the refraction properties and I cant work out how it's done in Maxwell. I'm sure I had problems with this before and had to use Maxwell Studio but I find that infuriating to use due the the navigation control.
Also, Should the Max plugin not be able to do the same job?

I'm using the latest version of maxwell, and the plugin with max 8 in Windows XP 32 bit
greatly appreciative of any help guys
