Glass material value?

[winnabago111]

I'm doing a close up of glass and I want to make sure I have a good glass material value. What have you found to be good. Thanks.

Specular
Transparent ON
IOR 1.54
RGB Gain ~5

I used those values but it comes out too transparent, which was mine own fault cause I didn't specify. I'm making a wine bottle so I want it to be a dark red and not very transparent.

Did you model just the outside of the bottle? It needs an actualy thickness (the interior needs to be "empty")

Ya i gave it thickness. I fixed it a little, I just cant get that exact look, its kind of around what I want. Its dark but not very reflective, but when I try to get it to look less black it just becomes more transparent.

if it's too transparent raise rgb gain
