Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Can maxwell do it? didn't found anything in the library.

I'm going to test if i can starting with Tom's nickel plating. The idea is to get a material that is reflecting (like a mirror) during day shoot, and that become transparent during the night when inside light become more important than outside one.

Tomorrow, it will be on MXM Gallery

so you made it at last I remember a very old thread where a bunch of people banged their heads against the wall and didn't come up with any solution (actually I was one lazy chap who didn't even try, just kept telling it couldn't be done). wonder how you made it.

wow quick. i think you can tint the glass a bit brownish. usually those added films are not that transparent.

Well, only one word. Master tom

Will show you later why i needed this . Actually i'm designing a potery museum (first architectural competition all alone like a big kid for myself). so needed it, anyway, i'll throw other renders in my Maxwell pipeline asap.

Very very interesting, Tom.

Here's it

It was quite easy and I decided to make it AGS for efficiency. You can replace the ghost layer with a glass when refraction is needed. This one is only suitable for typical thin glass panels.

rivoli, I remember that thread and I didn't have time to play with it but I didn't know it was a matter of 5 mins. I hope it works...

great,

now I just need to find some characters that fits in a scene with a small room with a one way mirror...

would be hot to have a small tutorial on what to tweak to get it work with small examples...i need that for a special project and am confused about the tech aspects of the mods

thnx
