Hi all, At the office a guy that comes from using mental ray told me that glass in vray never looks real, as opposed to mental ray. And I tried to defend vray but I think he’s right. I don’t think it’s a vray’s problem, but that I couldn’t get to the “perfect” (biased) settings to replicate reali…

I have to add this. DOF No one is talking about the dof. In my opinion it’s really important part of realistic glass. Glass is that way unique material, that you can see 3 different depths at the same surface. And because glass isn’t anything else than reflection, refraction and edges, you have to…

I can imagine 30 years ago someone saying to the -hand made rendering artist community-: “I want a computer that makes a rendering with 3D geometry”. And someone else would say, “yeah, right. And it’ll have lights and cameras and you’ll be able to put materials on stuff and then the machine will dra…

that one word is going be be… BAN :wink:

I’m finding it pretty funny at this point. How long can you guys keep feeding him?

Lupaz or anyone else, what properties should Vray glass material have then? It’s kinda difficult to think anything that we could drop off from the standard VRayMtl. Of course we could arrange those properties differently and make a drop down menu for some presets and call it VrayGlass, but is it wo…

Real looking glass (yes, again)
