  1. Hey everybody, thanks for the quick replies and the suggestions! I didn't post my renders, because I didn't have them at the time of writing. I will do this now, together with my current renders. Also it was quite busy at work, so I didn't have time to reply myself. I already tried putting color in the reflection slot, but since the material has to reflect almost as a mirror, it seems to loose a lot of it's color depending on the hdri map that I'm using. So if I use a really blue sky it will render blue (camera 7) but when I use another hdri with a lower sun, I loose all color and detail in the facade (Camera 13). So I would have liked a material like the sunglasses that would remain blue no matter the environment. I did indeed put the refraction to black and I used fog color as a way to color my translucent glass planes (since they have thickness). Since I yesterday had to show the current state of the renders to our client I now used a VraycarpaintMtl with a blue base color, 1.0 reflection and 1.0 glossiness. This seemed to keep its color better, and they kind of liked it. But what I'm noticing now is that at parts that get low lighting it gets real dark. So I think that there probably still is a better way to get to this material. I will look into the suggested coated material next. It sounds great. I didn't find it yet, but a search on google brought up VrayBlendMtl, so I assume that is what you meant? These are my latest renders: Thanks for the help!
  2. Dear anyone, I'm new to 3ds max and I need help rendering a reflective material. I need to render a building that has a glass facade that is made up of blue tinted glass and blue non-translucent reflective panels. I've got all my other materials pretty ok, except for the most important one of course. I seem to be able to make the panel as reflective as I need it, but as soon as I do that, i start loosing the blue color. Hopefully someone can help me/ explain me how to set this up properly. It should look somewhat like blue reflective sunglasses. I'll also add a picture from an existing building that has the same material as a facade. Thank you in advance!!!
  3. Hi, I'm a new user of vray for max (architect trainee). And for my new job I have to make some renderings of a building that has a facade that is covered in blue very reflective non-translucent glass combined with blue reflective coated blue tinted glass. I managed to get almost everything in the scene ok, but I'm having a rough time with the facade materials. If someone could help me (give instructions) set up the material for the non-translucent panels, I would be very happy! On this link you can find a link to a picture of the material I need to mimic, It's going to be exactly that, because it's going to be from the same manufacturer. http://www.teugels.eu/images/ref/bluetowers/bluetowers1.jpg Thanks in advance!
