Glass problem

[kristinaatanasova]

Hi guys,

 

So after rendering in 3ds I got this result. As you can see the glass doesn't look realistic...Can somebody tell me what to change in order to make it look better?

 

Tnak you.

First thing... does your glass have anything to reflect? Surrounding buildings, trees... ? An actual sky? Perhaps an HDRI will help.

Also, make sure your glass is a box and not just a plane. Don't make it too thick either.

 

Also, please post your glass material settings.

Hi Larissa,

Yes there are some volumes in the model. I am using hdri but it doesnt seem to help a lot...I have inserted thet in the enviroment tab as well. My glass is box with 50mm thickness.

WHOA! That's pretty thick. I usually use 6.35mm (or .25 inches). These are my glass settings (which turn out pretty ok results).

 

I used the blog from "The Boundary" found here: http://www.the-boundary.com/blog/2015/4/22/carey-house-tutorial-04-texturing?rq=glass

One trick I do to is duplicate the HDRI dome and have the new one only affect reflections. Then increase its intensity till the HDRI reads better in the reflections.

Thank you, I am trying it out right now and it looks way better. Regarding to the blog you have should me - priceless...
