Hello everybody,
I'm working on a complex project with a lot of lights, glass, mirrors. So far, so good, but I stumble over some problems with light affecting glass objects.
Today, I have two big problems:
- I would like to simulate edge lit glass. I tried a lot of things, but I cannot find any solution which is looking real. Can anyone give a hint how to achieve that ? (I'm trying to do that on a spiral stairway)
- would like to simulate the Harcourt Marie Louise lamp from Baccarat. But I cannot get any light effect into the glass (please see attachement for reference). I tried with a blend material to add some light, but it looks really fake. What can I do?
any help would be really appreciated.
cheers
