Help with making a white frosted glass top?

Hello everyone, I have attached a quick screen shot of a nightstand I have designed and I want to create a white frosted glass top for it. As you can see it has the glass texture on it and I want to have it look like “white frosted glass” I have changed the opacity but I want it to be white? I have tried a few ways but none of them get the look I am after? I tried a white tint, but still not great. Does anyone have some helpful tips?

Thanks alot!! I hope to hear from someone soon :slight_smile:

Can you share a reference image of what you are trying to achieve?

Hey @Jay_Shockey - try using a bump map on the glass material! Some small scale noise. Let me know if that helps!

Thanks for all your help guys! I am attaching a pic of the glass I am trying to recreate. It’s called satin etched glass and can come in a variety of colors. The color I am trying to recreate is in the attached image.

Thanks alot!!

I did the bump map effect a while back. it works, mostly.

Keep it simple: checkbox ‘frosted glass’ should do the trick ?

Here is my quick attempt. I do agree frosted/transparent materials need some focus in Enscape.

Lighting and depth of field help. Transparent materials tend to have too much noise so the DOF helps to blur it a bit more.

The glass top is made with two material

The top face is a Enscape basic frosted material

The rest is a foliage type material

not always. It’s a tricky effect and the Enscape toggle doesn’t always get the right look (usually too see-through.)

Thank you jtubb!!! This is the exact look I am after! :slight_smile: Not exactly sure how you applied material and what material you used? Did you just select an enscape frosted glass for the top face? Then for the rest of the glass top what material did you select? I hope I am making sense? :):slight_smile:

This is the look I want so thank you!
