Re: What's a good method to get glass to reflect the environment?
Hi All,
To have nice reflections you need something nice to reflect, i.e. use a nice 'background' (not a plate, but a spherical environment). The MrSky is not detailed enough for this (unless you add clouds). Also beware of your point of view. When you are high up in the sky, any glass LOWER than the camera will not reflect sky. rgds, nisus

Basically means you have made the A&D shaders controls mostly redundant as you have now handed control over to the Lume shader.  A simpler workflow and one carryingless overhead would probably have been to use the Mental Ray material type and put the Lume shader in the 'Surface' rollout there! regards Bri
