Mental ray, Adding glow to the window glass
Another great post over at Jamie Cardoso’s site:
Hi All,
Another quick way to emulate “glow” on windows, is to actually enable the glow function on the glass panes themselves.
To do this, simply go to the main material parameters, under the refraction group, reduce the transparency to about 0.9 to prevent the surface from being fully transparent. To add a bit of blur to the transparency, decrease the glossiness to about 0.78. Note that, these values may vary depending on one’s camera angle…and the level of transparency/blurriness intended.
