hi, I didn’t know where to post this, either in the render / lighting section, or the material section

however, my cutout area of a material seems to depend on the angle of the viewer… which should’nt be so?…

I applied it on a simple plane, the material has a cutout, bump and diffuse map, no reflections nor transparancy

does anyone have a clue what i’m going wrong?

the scene is lit with an HDRI, but the same results pop up with a daylight system

greets

I’ve managed to recreate the problem myself, only when the plane is very close to or intersecting the ground object. It’s caused by the AO on the ground object. Turning off AO on the ground material stops it. I think this must be a mr bug where AO doesn’t respect cutout opacity on another object.

You cold put this on the bug masterthread with a link to this one, and hopefully make someone at mental images aware of this oversight, and/or a defect report.
