to do cool glass in vray is very easy
you must only add fresnel reflection at pleasure:smile: (not really at pleasure, try out)
in the linked render there is good lighting too, in this case I think the most realistic results are given using HDR
LOL
My problem is not creating a cool glass but having the fog like volume AND the totally transparent base part with a different color.
The image you see is a photo and not a render
Thanks
download egzglass. i know how the plugin setup up a vray material so i do it manually but egzglass sure is easy to use
i dont think egz glass works in sp3…
I think (bercon)gradient in refraction slot would do the trick. Thats so thin glass there is no point using fog color option thingy.
I think giving the inside polys a material with the desired color in the refraction slot should do the trick.
if you unwrap the glass (and if you do it with a lathed spline, the unwrapping should be simple) you can use a gradient map to “tint” the refraction of the inner side.
I don’t suggest to use different material with different Mat IDs because I think you could have some strange raytrace results.
:roll: I’ve not understood your problem
I think the best result are with unwrapping as bardo say, because of the round shape of the colorchange line.
with unwrap you can paint your glass in any way you want
woups, it seems egz glass DOES work in sp3. I get scripterrors but it seems to render correctly anyways…
/k
Great example for the day that’s in it :]
