I've noticed that when using TransPro with volumetric lighting with noise , I get splotchy artifacts on my Transpro surface. Looks like the volumetric noise is intersecting the surface.
Are there ways around this?

Also--when using the transparent plugin that comes with the trans pro shader, It doesnt look like theres any way to include refraction (when using the shader in the trans channel).
Any workarounds for this?

Thanks

Does the model that you are using the shader on have any thickness?, that might be what is causing the artefacts...

Actually the model was flat and I was having these issues--so I tried adding thickness and switched to the transparent shader--and hit a wall with the lack of refraction. Maybe I'll try again, with trans pro now that I've added thickness.
