Vray Glass
-
wondering what i can do to make the glass look better from vray?
should i bother with it with photoshop? or is there something i can do in vray

Is this a glass material from the Chaos website?
Two things I notice (might be related to each other)
What kind of reflection do you have set? For glass it should be set for Fresel reflection.
And secondly is there any transparency to the material? Right now it looks more like a mirror than a window.Rob

this is what i have now with the following settings for my glazing

Hi Don, Try this glass material out: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tglh7ibhafkpacj/Glass.zip
I saved out both a simple standard glass material as well as a more advanced VRayBRDF material. The VRayBRDF is for more close up thickened realistic glass. The Standard material will work on thin single face glass, like what what you would be using on a large building.
To get more metallic reflections bump up the IOR value in your Fresel settings, I find 2-3 gives you a nice reflective glazing appearance.
Try theses different glass materials and let me know how things go!

. . . also - there is nothing reflected in the windows, only sky. Being able to see realistic (or believable) reflections is what makes glass look right. So you need to set up some billboards that will be reflected in the glass.
Here is what I mean

Hi would it be possible for you to save this as a vismat file?

What version of vray are you using? The vrayBRDF material type is only applicable to vfs 2.0
Oh yeah, and vrmat is basically the same as vismat, but only the 2.0 version can open it.

You should be able to just change the file extension on the material to be .vismat. This will work on the Glass Standard material, but yes, The VRayBRDF material is incompatible with 1.49.
