Hello All,

Please see attached image-Any ideas on how to improve the appearance of the super BLACK windows---I am using A&D material on the windows-FG for indirect illumination-FG bounces to 4, Day light system, & Photographic Exposure Control EV=14.

 

I greatly appreciate your help!

 

Many Thanks!

Hi Camby,

 

Thanks for looking--Attached is the screenshot for the glass material-It is a regular A&D-Glass geometry material.

 

Searching through the forums, I found a solution/idea..that I think will work-PS attached render.

 

The idea is to place a Plane in front of the glass window with a picture of the reflection-then in the object properties of the plane-turn off everything except-visible to reflection/refraction.

 

Thanks much for your help!
