Refraction for transparent 3D objects/Materials

[ronald leew2184168]

I tried the latest AE Beta, but had no luck getting glass or other transparent materials to refract. Is this feature still pending? Or am I missing a parameter/setting?

Hard to say if you're missing something without more information. Can you provide a screen shot?

The Advanced 3D engine is not a ray-tracer, so translucency and refraction are not supported. You can use transparency with low roughness and reflection of environment light sources to create glassy looks, and add effects like CC Glass to your layers underneath to approximate refraction.
