Behind glass distorsion

del82 · September 3rd, 2006

I read something abouth this on support pages.
How to avoid it?

Play with your IOR settings for the refractions.

No thats not it.
If I put it to 1 I get diffuse material.
This is how I modeled it.

^ ...how I modeled the glass surface, 2 planes with normals facing opposite sides with same ref. index...I thought this was right?

It is the refraction in the curved glass.

Two things to do
1. Reduce your ior as low as it can go without going to 1.0 Try 1.01
2. Make the distance between the faces of the glass smaller. Something like 3 or 4 mm. And make sure that the glass is one obeject for each sheet of glass.
