[ilyass]

hi guys

 

im trying to achievethis result within max

 

 

but i cant seem to get the right settings.

i have a lantarn almost like the 1 in the picture with various coloured glass panels, ive put a ligt inside it but it doesnt cast shadows or light according to the coloured glass instead i get a plain white colour on the walls.

 

anyone know a tutorial or how to achieve this result?

mental ray or vray? or scanline?

edit: and what light object are you using?

[Tommy L]

Does the glass have a thickness? If its just a plane it may just going through in the direction of the normal.

[ilyass]

the glass thickness is just a plane with a colour

im using vray 1.5 sp2

[Koper]

and have you turned on effect shadow under the refraction material settings?

 

what happens when you hide the glass object

[Tommy L]

put a shell modifier on it, about 1cm, see if that helps. check the 'affect shadow' in the refraction settings in the material.

[ilyass]

that was it koper, the affect shadow parameter under refraction

i missed it completly trying to make this work.

thanks for the quick responses guys

much appreciated:)

 

now its tweaking it untill its right:cool:
