black glass

mcrowley · May 12th, 2008

I'm using viz 07 and vray 1.5 and my glass is black when doing an interior scene. Using vray sun and plane lights. Lighting looks good and there is reflection on the glass but there is no transparency.

You will have to bring down the refraction swatch color to almost white depending on how much tint you want. Then turn on affect shadow and affect alpha. Make sure your default lights are turned off under 'global switches'. Hope this helps.
