milky frosted opal glass

[Anonymous]

Hello!
How can I modify glass material to get frosted, milky or opal glass?

Thank you!

I've moved your question to the Presentation/Rendering forum as that type of glass appearance is only (realistically) seen via rendering - e.g., Cinerender or TwinMotion.

The library (USA at least) has a glass surface in the standard template called Glass - Frosted.

Within AC itself, you can create a new Surface from one of the many options in the standard library, and yet others in the supplemental library available to people on SSA/subscription/ArchiPlus. Screenshots attached. From there, you can modify the appearance further as desired.

Within TwinMotion, you have other options for realistic materials that can be dragged and dropped to replace existing ones.

to create your own version of frosted glass you need to adjust the transparency and reflection channel. How to do this check out this Cinerender Surface materials series. Part 4 + 5 talk about these 2 channels.
