Mix Shader means that that each shader is at half strength. Volume and Surface shaders occupy different different types of space, and should be able to coexist.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 3:24 PM, Paulius Mscichauskas <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:visprotis@gmail.com">visprotis@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

This may break the volume rendering patch, but shaders with volume closures still
