Umesh Raut Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hey Ismon, don't know about sketchup (as yet:)), but transparency is all about letting light pass/go through substance, and in that case you do NOT get/expect reflection, what I see in your image. Of course its degree/percentage may vary, but then you also get shadow, however, weak and depleted, of that object. In max's V-Ray its in the reflection refraction settings. You may want to check those on your side. Hope this is helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M V Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 If the glass has a refraction layer, you need to check Affect Shadows" for light to pass. On another note - 1.05.30???? you gotta update this thing man. Public Beta for 1.60 is out. Lots of great new features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayOfLight Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I like glass with settings like, 98% reflection and 98% refraction, fresnel reflection with an IoR of 1.52 or so, and either colorless, or with a very slight fog color, althoug I can't remember if it was available in 1.05..make sure you have at least reflection and refraction layers, etc. and use the fresnel map in both too..

antoniocruz Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Hey guys, I have a problem with glass materials, I can't see the original material of the wall through the glass window, originally it's blue but when I render it seems to be white, I don't know if it's about reflections or something. Please help me! I've trying to figure out what is really happening but I have no solution for now Thanks a lot. PD:I hope you understand me, my english sucks a little bit.

mikak1 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hi Tony, I have the same problem. Just wondered if you have got any advise or managed to solve the issue? I have been trying to solve this for a while but as I am pretty new with Vray, I have no clue! Thanks Mika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antoniocruz Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Hi Mika! Well, I got the solution for this, I just realized that the faces of the model weren't well-oriented. I fixed it with this plugin called Front Face, you can find it here: http://www.tomaszmarek.eu/sketchup_1.html and here is a little tutorial of how to use it, is in spanish, sorry, I didn't find it in english but it's easy to understand. I hope you can solve this problem soon! Tony. Hi Tony, I have the same problem. Just wondered if you have got any advise or managed to solve the issue?

mikak1 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Hi Tony, Thank you for your reply! Really useful to know about this. As I am using MAC, I will find out if this plug in has a mac version or find something similar. I noticed that there was something wrong with the model I was working on which was causing the problem. I had exactly the same model I saved in a different name and that worked OK so I used this model instead. Good luck with your rendering!
