PamelaT Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Doing a Kitchen with Glass Counter Tops, anyone have a technique on how to get them to render as glass without increasing the emissive factor, which makes them glow.

Thanks Pamela Hey PT. This is quite a wide ranging question. There are a lot of variables that can come into play here. What type of "render" are you using? For my money ray tracing will yield the best results for you. For starters make sure the "reflections" box is checked in the Camera Spec. DBX for the camera you are using. Then you can change the Material of the counter top to one of the glass types in the Core Catalogs. You should also have a play with the different Material Classes in the Define Material DBX using the rainbow (Adjust Material Definition) tool. In this quick example I used a Custom Counter Top set to 1/2 inch thick and changed the Material to "Smoked Glass". I then used the rainbow tool to change the Material Class to "Transparent". I also bumped up the "Index of Refraction" to exaggerate the effect. Hope this gives you something to work with as I don't like to see unanswered questions here on the forum.
