This is how it worked in 4.1
The converted file to 4.2 shows this setup (same pov)
I tried multiple variation of settings but had no luck. Transparency Overlap should work on multiple elements but I just cant get it to work.
I tried separating the objects with different materials, using transmission instead of glass, disabling and changing render settings, nothing seems to work, any ideas?
I am assuming that you want to see the objects that are further away in the second pix…
The only way I could get something like that was to mix in a transparent shader… and select Dithered, Raytraced Transmission tended to hide the other spheres but I did not test it with a render…
You can also use a glossy shader instead of the Glass shader.
You can also select Blended /w Transparency overlap, but that is an unrealistic glass…
Thanks for taking the time to respond, I’m aware of the different ways to fake transparency mixing nodes, but in this specific case, as far as I know, Transparency Overlap was introduced to make the first picture possible in eevee next
I’m looking for a total overlap of transparency
The manual explanation of Transparency Overlap seems to do exactly what I want but I can’t find the settings to activate it.
Does the Sphere thickness setting give you a different result?
Yes, Sphere and Slab combined with 0 thickness and any value above 0 give different results but none seem to interact with each other.
I already ended up using another setup but now I’m just curious about how is Transparency Overlap supposed to work.
