How are you all.

My question is "Using several transparent objects makes them black?".

Yeah, it is in the FAQ but the solution is not enough for me.

The max_trace_level is truncated at 256.

With the max_trace_level=256, I could still see the black color rather than 
the color that I want.

I thought that "no_reflection" could be a solution but it doesn't work 
neither.

I am in trouble due to this problem for two month.

I will be really glad if you help me please.

Thank you!

JH

A small example scene that demonstrates the effect you are seeing would
be helpful.

  (My bet is that you are seeing a side-effect of refraction which is called
total internal reflection. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_internal_reflection )
