Glass reflections

[Anonymous]

I don't know why but I can't seem to get certain angles of my glazing to render properly. They keep reflecting like a mirror or applying full transparency like a window through the model, or something I don't know?

Can anyone explain this?

Notice you can see through the glass in this attachment but not in the next attachment.

I have circled the area where the glass has rendered a greeny colour. It is strange that the glass will render in one elevation but not the other. Does this have to do with the angles of the glass to the camer / sun or god knows what? This is very frustrating.
Any responses are much appreciated.

Try a different glass just for fun.

refractive glass in the ray tracing archive

Turned out to be great fun. I haven't tried all angles yet but this seems to work. You are a pure genius Dwight thank you.

Nice curves BTW.

Beautiful building, the roof is very smooth and flows well. Can you tell us how you were able to creat such a free flowing form like that? Did you use only ArchiCAD (if so how) or did you use some add on or other software (if so which ones). The reason I ask is because I am designing a Skateboarding park and support builidng that requires me to make very free flowing shapes like that. Any help or advice would be fantastic.

If you read his first post the roof is made with Rhino. This is otherwise a typical task for MaxonForm....and MF should be the choice for your skateboard park.
