Hi all,
I have a question about index of refraction.
I have a scene with some water bottles that are supposed to be full of water.
The refractive index of water is 1.33, but the refractive index of the bottle itself (PET material) is 1.57.
Due to the heaviness of the scene I do not want to model and render the inside of the bottles as a separate object.
So using only one object and one refractive index, what refractive index would be closer to reality in this case?
I'm using mia_material btw.
