Title: FRost glass question from a complete new boy
Post by: rfollett on 2018-04-02, 13:05:15

first time with corona and frost glass material - which colour in the material controls the overall colour of the glass?

Hi,
for a glass you'd want to set diffuse to pure black, reflection and refraction to 1. Glass colour is controlled with absorption colour and distance combo. For a single polygon glass or thin glass sheet, use refraction colour instead. Frosty effect is achieved by tuning refraction glossiness down.
