Whats the trick for rendering multi-transparencies?

Whats the trick for rendering multi-transparencies?

How do we go about rendering (see attach). I thought is was bumping up samples. Thanks

Grrr cant attach. Martin its a pain in the ass that this forum cant handle zip files that are half a megabyte because they are too big

You´ll reach pretty fast the limit of "Max. ray depth" which is 24 right now.
I´d better build some low geometry wheat and make use of the instance system.

Thanks Frank,
so that image is at Max Ray Depth?

Yessir.

If the mesh onto which the wheat texture is projected has roughly the shape of the wheat you get much less alpha overdraw and the max. ray depth of 24 should work even better.

Due to less alpha overdraw it should even render faster.

And don't forget to set the refractive index of the material to 1.
