      Hi all,

      Attached are images showing the kind of look I want for my glass. I've been having trouble trying to get the same coloured tint, strong reflection but medium transparency. Do I colour the glass using the fog option or do I specify the colour in the reflection colour slot? Do I use the refraction for the transparency or lower the transparency in the diffuse channel? To get the strong reflections do I raise the IOR value or keep it at 1.52 and adjust the reflection colour? If any one can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.

        Play with the reflection filter color and refraction color to get the proper result. From what I know, the refraction color gives this kind of effect. I use it pretty often and it gives good results.

          Hello,

          For glass color, you can play with the fog color settings.

          A PDF file of glass settings tuto is downloadable HERE
