glass material

Hello friend of cg architect

How can i make this "glass" material

 

thx for your help

do you want to know how to make the glass nearly white and without reflection?

 

im not familiar with 3dsmax, but im sure there is a way to add a gradient on the specular channel, it should give you that effect.

Most viz shops do their glass reflections and highlights in Photoshop with passes. Render yourself a specular pass and a pure reflection pass, then composite it onto the render. Try the various blend modes (screen/multiply/overlay/etc) in different layers, and use gradient masks to transitions.

 

I know it sounds like cheating, and it makes animations a bit more work, but the effect is very nice and it's a lot quicker and more satisfying to find the look you want in PS than in max.

Stick to the normal BM delete a selection on the red channel to make lighter areas reflect less than darker ones ;-)) next do gradients ,-)

The secret is in environment. Use some HDRI!

But you have nice glass here
