So, when I create my little pinecony-bob, and add the dielectric material to it, and render it out, i have some caustics but the object itself looks black almost like it's not lit. I've tried messing with a lot of settings, but it never lights up properly. Thoughts?

I was just typing the same thing. I would like to use this concept for a driveway alarm and making it water tight is a must.

What would be a good way to weatherproof the sensors? Am I correct in thinking that sealing them in a plastic box would negate their ability to ping?
