Hello,
Not sure what’s going on here
Frosted glass in doors is clear viewed through clear glass on the stair?
The glass panel in the door is a separate object, so no multi-sub objects used.
vray 1.5 and viz 2008 used, just installed yesterday, woo hoo
Thanks
Geoff
Do by any chance have the Max. reflection/refraction depth option checked in the Global switches rollout?
Just did a quick test here and it seemed to work fine; but if you override the material depth with the global option, you may get this effect.
Best regards,
Vlado
Vlado,
I’m rendering the scene from another angle at the moment so I’ll check tomorrow.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Geoff
EDIT
just checked the render from another angle and the problem hasn’t occured! hmmm strange. Maybe it was just my low quality settings for the tests?
Well, if your low-quality settings include using the global reflection/refraction depth override, then yes 
Best regards,
Vlado
i know it’s low quality, but looking good geoff!
Thanks SV. it’s going to nothing special really. No ‘dressing’ the scene. Client can’t visualise the stair in their house, that’s all.
found the problem…forgot to put glass in the door
thanks for your help Vlado
Geoff
:lol:
major bug!
nice wip by the way!
that just made me laugh!
indeed a good pic btw.
ale
I feel like everyone is laughing at me!
Here’s the final images (half resolution)
Done better, but done a lot worse!
that second one is top notch!
well maybey just a notch overbright imo
splendid images as per usual Geoff!
What’s your light setup look like Geoff
Beautiful by the wya.
I am looking at this on a crap wuxga laptop screen, but looking at the histogram i think it is a bit blown out.
How about something like this? It’s a simple curve in photoshop.
Btw, nice floor material. Care to share some settings?
i love your work!
would love to see a scene setup…
vray area lights or just an environment / DomeLight etc…?
Fantastic renders mate.
Good to see you stairs still kicking on
Thanks for the kind words
Nothing special in the lighting setup or material
Did this one old style with vray plane in window. I have been using vray sun, but I normally still try a test render using the old method.
Can’t be bothered to screen grabs, so here’s the scene minus the stair and textures.
Geoff
Question .
In your frosted glass setting you add a map in the refraction slot. Can we know what it was. nice job for a little space like that.
have a nice day
@ jodestroy
Its just a small noise map.
Geoff
thanks.
