Dirty & Cloudy/Obscured Glass

[leedeetee]

Hello all,

Just wondering if you can help me ... I'm modelling a Victorian pub in my city and would like to model the window glass as well as I can, so I guess my question is two fold ....

1) How can I make the window glass appear dirtier and grimier than our nice modern glass?

and

2) The bottom 3 window panes on each of the front of sets of windows on the front of the building appear to be clouded/obscured - is it possible to achieve a similar effect from TWR?

Thanks.

Lee

for the obscured glass... looks like the bottom 3 panes were just painted white. which means you would just do so in your rendering, instead of using glass material, just use the Template>Paint, correct?

Fletch, many thanks for this. Much appreciated.

And here you can find some good contaminants patterns.

Massimo, many thanks. Excellent.

EDIT: Sorry Massimo, how would one use the .exr's in twiligtht?

Thanks Massimo, so add them in post pro in photoshop, yeah?

No, use them in Kerkythea's material lab. I've not looked at the tutorial Fletch pointed to, but I've made similar materials in KT long time ago.

Thank you Massimo, sorry, I'm still a bit of a newbie.
