Pane in The Glass

[vizwhiz]

hi There

 

Vizards and All

 

here is my latest work in Progress

something is going on here that is probably obvious to others

 

on the South facing glass (just where the Sun does shine)

is turning opaque dark gay but the east and west facing interior courtyard glass

 

is looking ok

 

this file keeps blowing up on me and i end up losing the file

so i am going back to a previous version and reapplying the glass materials

 

what am i missing on This?? (see attached glass settings)

the raytrace runs the program out of memory every Time

 

so This is a flat mirror approach

 

Thanks for any and all advice

My first thought would be to turn off "self illumination". If that doesn't work maybe the specular levels should be at 0 or the diffuse at black, not light blue.

VIZ keeps blowing up some kind of memory problem

 

but i kept trying and after 2x additional crashes

just as i was printing a 11x17 the Client made an unexpected visit

 

To The Office

 

boy was he ever happy to see what This looks like

Thanks a million (have a virtual brewski on me)

no idea.....I mean, it happens only on the surface of glass where the sun hits directly, the part of the glass thats under the roof shadow is transparent, but this doesnt happens on the other facade as you said......pretty weird.....

 

The glass is a plane?...or is it a solid?

 

EDIT: nevemind, i see you already solved it
