How can I create glass that gradients from clear to frosted?

I use Vray, but if someone knows how to do it not using Vray, I am sure I could

adapt. Thanks

I was able to do it using a vrayblend and a gradient ramp. so Nevermind.

Sure. Plug a Gradient map into the Refraction Glossiness slot. If you want your reflection glossiness to follow the same pattern, plug the same map into the reflection glossiness slot too.

You can modulate the "abruptness" of the transition and the degree of "frostiness" by tweaking the RGB curve in the output section of the Gradient map.

Thats a great idea....going to give it a shot now. Thanks!
