They began life as tS 6.6 lofted/ stitched NURBS objects and I just let Workspace autoconvert them into polygon objects. The inside surface should have one surface (glass, no text, minor bump) and the external surface should be glass, text map and bump/normal. It's looking like they both have the external material applied. (I probably hit the 'paint object' instead of 'paint over existing material' at some point) Plus, the nasty, square artifacts have got to go. Not sure what's causing that yet. It started out sorta ok: 16126 (but I see I already have the double-outside tex going on) and I'm not sure it's getting any better: 16127 What's scary is it took me 18 renders to realize what's going on! My plan is to go back to square one and split the bottle up into separate parts in Model first and then bring them into Workspace for VRay texturing. Anyone have any good VRay glass tips?

Fresnel, glossy, or glass? VRay doesn't like layered textures either. Post by spacekdet // Nov 7, 2008, 10:07am spacekdet Total Posts: 1360 It's plain vanilla VRay glass from the library, maybe tweaked a little in the reflection parameter. Tried the fresnel too, but wasn't transparent enough: 16128 fresnel material Post by robert // Nov 7, 2008, 1:11pm robert Total Posts: 609 Strange a just "out of the box" Pure Glass Fresnel shader looks like this: (caustics added for effect:p)
