Hi Hayer.

 

Tnx for your feedback.

Indeed one doesn't need fall-off on every project - I've been doing without for years - but lately I've seen some renderings of skyscrapers with really amazing glass.

They catch a combination of a color gradient, good environmental reflection and interior walls and ceilings. I am just wondering how to setup a light like that.

hi all

here is a trick I always do when rendring

a glass material especiely exterior one.

I use standrad material with black ampiant

and diffuse and middle tone for the highlight

u could use any color for the highlight but

I prefer middle gray cuz the color usully com

from the sky reflection

now for the specular I usullay set it to

somthing lik 45 and the shinnes 25

I then set the bump map to 8 with nois map

set to 125 this shold giv u a nice curvy reflection now for the reflection I use

rytrace materil in the reflection map set to

somthing like 50 or 70 .

u also need to soround ur sceen with have cylindar

and map it picture of city scape and set the RGB

multiplyer to somthing like .5

now for the high lights I usually use an omni

with only specular enabled and position it close

to the glass material this shold giv u a nice

gradiant specular . that,s it .

 

another techniq I use is render the glass materila

to plain rytrace materil withe default setting

and then do another pass withe all lights off

and set the glass material to 100% self illumniation and take it to photoshop and

do what ever u want up there

 

Thanks for sharing. Appreciate it
