JD, here you go:

Glass V1 ND 1.58 (download by rightclick: save target as...)

this was my attempt to achieve pure simple beta glass!

Thanks Alex.

Try changing Reflectance 90° to [255,255,255]...that should get the reflections working better. Also, you might experiment with a lower Attenuation.

this is gorgeous!

(PS. background is a photo or modeled?)


ciao,

schick!

but the floor could be a little more reflective i think...

great images but the light distribution in the top beta image (6 chairs around a glass table) is just georgeous - so much better than the 1.0 image. I don't think it's your glass settings - I think the engine just produce a more pleasing image.

me too likes the beta version more, but it's hard to compare the light distribution in the two images since the sun is sooooo much rotated...

This shows the power Beta had regarding image quality.
Lets hope Maxwell returns to what beta once offered.
Great Work...

@andretto: everything is modeled in this.

@JD: thanks again for your tip ("Try changing Reflectance 90° to [255,255,255]...that should get the reflections working better. Also, you might experiment with a lower Attenuation.") regarding the boost in reflection on glass:

here´s the resulting image, check out the glass table and compare with the glass on the first page:

superb

Looking great, Alex. ...one question...are you using the same material for the exterior glass as you are for the table?

~JD

[rendertaxi]

JD,

no, the glass in the fassade is ags, the glass at the table is the one we´re talking about..
next time i ask you directly when it comes to materials!

alex

[JDHill]

...ask any time.

I'm a little curious about the AGS...I'm not sure if you've modified it, but the buildings outside look quite blue, the sky looks quite white...and I think I might see some strange things. I also wonder what this image would look like with turbidity set to around 5 or so...it might bring a bit warmer look like the older images.
