For a long time I didn't quite understand the attenuation settings in maxwell, when you give your material a transmittance color it doesn't always come out the way you would want it to. Also it is
sometimes hard to imagine how glass would look like in a certain thickness. So a while ago I made a little preview scene for myself to better understand what was going on. It worked for me very well
and I improved the scene to a more complex one. Now I want to share it with everbody here ;)

Here are some images on what the scene looks like:

And here is the link to the files:

Attenuation preview scene

Hopefully this can help some people!

Ps. Just drop the files in the preview map of the Maxwell installation folder.
