smr_VIZ · February 10th, 2008

In MR, there are several Arch & Design preset materials. I have some questions for the solid glass material. I guess in theory, the refaction will determine the glass color. So I gave a color to the color slot in refaction area. But Now I am confused. What is the role for the diffuse color. If I assign a color to the diffuse slot, it will also influence the glass color.

Does it mean the diffuse determine the original glass color. The refraction decide the glass color after the light pass through it?

Guys, please enlighten me if you have clues.
