Hi guys:

I am currently having trouble to make realistic glass in Maya. Just wondering if anyone could provide some tutorials on making realistic glass, I searched the internet all night and couldnt find anything.

Many Thanks!

go into the rendering sub-forum. Its one of the most current threads called "Lobber's MR Glass Shader". read through the thread. Somewhere onthe first or second page, one member even posted a scene file with its use which you can look at to see how its implemented.

yeah. Just remeber to put a material in the reflected color slot. Glass doesn't look like much if its not reflecting something
