I'm trying to make a dodecahedron inside a sphere. I want the sphere to be transparent so I can see the dodecahedron nestled inside. I'm using SphereIFS for the DIF Sphere and DodecahedronIFS for the dodecahedron from the 3da dropdown menu. I have managed this better though not completely with another shape but cannot get this to work for whatever reason. I keep getting a change of colouration that splits the sphere in half and I have tried changing lighting in every way I can possibly think including turning it off completely and still get that effect. I'll include pictures so you can see what I mean. I left the dodecahedron sticking out a bit just so you can see it's there.

I think I got nearer here but it's still not right:

I'd post my better attempt but it's on my laptop right now and my power supply is broken so until I get it fixed/repaired I can't.
If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it!! My inspiration is MarkJayBee because I know he has done this and it amazed me so I wanted to try it out.

Hello,
you need to do a hollow sphere with the inside radius parameter, here is a sample parameter:

Inside a solid marble there is no verification of other objects, so they would be not shown.
The strong color change in the reflection is because the camera FOVy has 0 degrees, so the background gradient covers also 0 degrees.
In the reflection then it is only a direct line seperating top and bottom color.
But if you select 'relative to object' in the ambient tab (lighting panel), the gradient will cover always the whole background sphere, like in the parameters i shown.
Thankyou very much Jesse, that works perfectly!! I swear I set it to 'relative to object' ....so much for trying everything! Thanks for the helpful parameter code.
