Archviz Glass
From MC Animation and Rendering Wiki
More actions
Archviz glass refers to shaders whose surface has the properties of glass, but without refraction. It's commonly used for windows in archviz rendering, where regular glass shaders may create additional noise for interior scenes.
Examples
The following are some examples of archviz glass shaders for each program.
Blender
Setup with Fresnel Node
This setup[1] uses the Fresnel effect alongside light path tricks, which may create more pronounced reflections.
Setup with the Maximum between Shadow and Reflection Rays
This setup[2] uses maximum of the Is Shadow Ray and Is Reflection Ray values to make the surface rendered as glass, but the indirect light rendered as a transparent shader.
