Microfacet glass shader

[raypusher]

I stumpled across this glass shader, maybe someone might find it useful. I only tried it on 3ds max but it should also work under Maya at least it claims so. But since there is no combined material forum, I put this here :cool:

I noticed you have to set the sampling level quite high if it is very rough/frosty glass to get good results. I guess that is something the author is complaining about on their site.

Very interesting...will be giving this a try!

Im confused on how to setup the maya.rayrc file. Can you post an example of what it supose to look like. Example, like the

link "{MAYABASE}/lib/MFacetGlass.{DSO}"
and the
link "{MAYABASE}/lib/MFacetGlass.{DSO}"

Thanks

Sorry I am a 3ds Max user can't really tell you how to do supposed to add custom materials to Maya. I think it is similar to what is descriped on this page:

But I am pretty sure if you ask in the Maya forum they will be able to help you!

Sorry!

Bummer...oh well. I cant get it to work, and i tried I think everything. Too bad some maya user cant jump in and explain a little further. Thanks anyway.
