So on the right side of the Material editor window click this Checkerboard looking button and you will see our Glass material Thumbnail change. We should give our material a background so we can see the change of material in the Material thumbnail as we tweak it ( You can double click on the material to make the view pop up). It is a good habit to rename your material just as you start to create them. Click on Standard and from the Vray Material rollout select VRayMtl and rename the material to Glass. First of open the Material Editor window (M on keyboard). Once we have our helper objects in place let’s create the Vray Glass material. Modifying Box mesh Creating Vray Glass Material I will write a bit later about this in the post. ( Do the same to a House mesh) We need this Shell modifier for the demonstration of one additional Vray Glass feature I want to show you. In the Modifier List look for a Shell modifier and click on it once you find it in the list. Select the Window object and go to Modify panel. One more thing is to give our Window ( and a house itself) a Shell modifier. Click OK and now we have two separate objects: a box mesh and a window (r ename the box mesh to House if you want). Extrude the selected polygon to something like 14,0 cm. With the extruded polygon still selected go back to Modify panel and under Edit Geometry select Detach button. Deselect any options ( Detach to element or Detach as clone) if there is selected any of them and rename your object to Window. Once you’ve done that don’t deselect the polygon just go right back to the Modify panel and again in Edit Polygon panel select Extrude option. In Edit Polygon rollout press Inset and inset the polygon to about 18,0 cm ( If your units are inches or default units set it to whatever it looks best to you).
In the modify panel switch to Polygon mode and select one of the side polygons. Once you placed your box mesh click the Right Mouse button on the mesh and go to Convert to: Convert to Editable Poly. It’s not necessary, but I will do it for the sake of better understanding on what’s going on.
Setting up a Vray renderer and creating box meshįor more visually appealing view I will model this nice “house” ( another fabulous 3D mansion of mine…) of the simple box mesh with the one window. Otherwise you won’t be able to use the Vray materials, but I guess it is pretty obvious.
As we are creating Vray Glass it is good to sett your Vray Renderer from the beginning. Let’s Begin. Setting up visual helpersįirst of all when you open your 3dsMax open the Render setup dialog and change the Renderer from Default Scanline to Vray ( my version is 3.2). So it is time for another simple 3ds Max tutorial about a very simple thing- Vray Glass 🙂 I know it is very basic and boring, but for those of you that are just beginning your 3D journey this kind of stuff ( basic tutorials) is very needed, I know, I was there too 🙂 Glass is one of those materials that is constantly needed and you always end up making something that requires this transparent shiny material 🙂 So in this simple tutorial I will try to touch all of the important aspects creating Vray Glass material.
