..kinda confused

so am i. not sure i get what's wrong there.

Whiskey, can you describe the geometry more? Maybe a wireframe...

maybe in this case the best way to go is the boolean one you suggested earlier, with a very small gap between the two parts.
here's a quick test, two spheres one into another (big one 0,3 roughness blue tinted, small one 0,0 roughness totally transparent. both have abbe 120, absorbance 0,01, ior 1,5). the one on the left is the no booleaned one (as in your image), the one on the right is the booleaned one (small gap between the booleaned sphere and the small one):

not sure how it would work with a complex geometry as the one you have there, but at least the booleaned one shows that there's something going on within it (maybe 0,3 roughness is too much to get a clear idea of what shape is inside the other).

whuut is thiiis, mimetic puully alloy?

I think you will have to make sure the faces aren't coincident, otherwise you won't get any sort of reflections on the inner surface, blurred or not.

hey I'm trying to convince my brother to buy the edu version of SW

I'm drooling to use it too after seeing their online tour....makes Rhino look like an old tricycle next to this beast

Plus it seems pretty straightforward...

If you mean a cavity with saying "no-color", you have to bool-out that part.
If you need to render it with a substance filled, again you've to bool-out and place a volume in it.

Or is the polycarb actually visible outside the fipper in the part of the image you are not showing? Of course, that is not an ideal perfect world techniqe...

I agree booling out the material is the ideal real world technique and logical.
