Hello,

As I'm using Indigo for both hobby and professionnal use, I will now post under two different user names to set a clear frontier between both activities. But you are in contact with the same physical person!

Cheers,

Etienne

Thanks Etienne,

fantastic and realistic glass materials!

Fantastic materials!
I love how you modified the preview scene; is that a 6mm thick pane of glass?

Btw, why don't you use the ® sign in your material names?

This is a 4mm pane of glass. 4mm is more used in private homes, 6mm and above in commercial buildings and glass facades. For these tinted glasses, rarely used in private homes, 6mm might have been more adequate, you are right.

I will update this. Initially, I used it in the igm code comments, but this crashed the igm parser. I will update the material names.

This are some really lovely glass materials, thanks a lot... also the extra plane is very welcome here!
Only thing that I hate to see is the white-point being off
Set it to E for a white BG...

Yes, that's exactly, what I thought!

@ galinette:
Thank you for the materials and I also like the extra plane but it would be nice, if you could correct the white balance for the preview pics.

And perhaps you may share your modified preview scene so that it could be used by others as an alternative (at least for glass materials) too. Of course it isn't hard to make such a simple modification by yourself but it wouldn't probably be exactly the same measures and angles and so it would suffer comparability.

Awesome!

Hi, these are all great for IRL studies and so is an engine, still standing strong in spite the of tides of time.

For some time there's rising interest on the market & among CG artists/users in HQ products such as Planiclear, Vision-Lite and the likes (most, simply struggle to produce such visual properties (ie. using Indigo engine: AR coated glass, Coated glass from real measured spectral data), I'd like to know, will there be any updates with new products/materials?
