Anyone have nice tileable Transparent Glass textures?
-
I'm getting tired of using the standard Transparent textures. I've tried using images I found but glass seems to be so problematic. Almost every photo has light source hotspots or reflections. My photo editing skills are lacking, and I have not been able to create a texture that works well. Answers, suggestions, a good texture to share?

have you tried using the color wheel to change the color of the basic glass textures?

I usually use a texture for glass in Sketchup as a stand-in for a bump in rendering programs (Thea). No glass is perfect -- slight warping and imperfections. I usually use water textures scaled much larger (5 or 10 times larger than I would use it for actual water) and then a VERY slight bump setting, just to subtly bend and warp reflections.

That's exactly my process... (rushing off to patent office)
