Assign values for both REALRINDEX/IMAGINARYRINDEX and RINDEX

Is it necessary to provide values of RINDEX for a material if I already specified the complex index of refraction (REALRINDEX and IMAGINARYRINDEX). Will the processes which normally use RINDEX use the complex index instead?

You’ll have to specify RINDEX everywhere a refractive index is needed. REAL/IMAGINARYRINDEX are only used for calculating reflection/absorption for boundary process.

Thanks for the answer!
