Wierd VRAY thing

[JHalton]

Hi guys,

 

I am rendering the attached house in VRAY. When i duplicate the house for the creation of a semi detached the windows loose the blueness. They have exactly the same properties. Do you think flipping the glass itself could be the cause?

 

Cheers

Yes! When I flip it back it works.

 

Funny, amazing how you get to your own solution just by telling someone. I probably would have never sorted it out if I did'nt think of it in my first post.

If you are mirroring the windows, that is the cause of the problem....couple things to try: Use istanciate instead of replicate under the system tab of the rende settings. If the windows are multi-sub object materials, make sure that both materials are either Vray or standard, not a mixture of the two. Make sure that your glass material is double sided, and last, try flipping the glass.

Nice render by the way!

....select your panes of glass, and apply a fix normals modifier to it. planes are 1 sided in max, and they have a direction they are facing. you need to make them face the other direction.

 

if you don't want to use a normals modifer, you could probably select the panes of glass in the mirrored piece, and mirror them again (don't duplicate them) so that they are facing out.

 

i could be wrong though, because the window still kind of look like they have a pane of glass there, but just not reflecting anything. if what i think is wrong is wrong, it should like nothing is there.
