Air has IOR of 1 by definition, which means it is no obstacle for light transmission. The Index of Refraction stands for how the material refracts the transmitted light.

Standard glass has Index of Refraction(IOR) 1 of 1.51714. To break the "perfection", let's reduce the Reflection Glossiness to something like 0.95 and the Refraction Glossiness to 0.99. In real world no glass material is fully reflective or fully refractive, and the same goes for glossiness. The white color indicates that this material is fully refractive. To make the material transparent, set the Refract option to very close to white. This way, we make the material reflective.

Then, increase the Reflect option by changing it to something like mid-gray or a bit lighter. To achieve that here, let's set the Diffuse color to black, this way eliminating color from the material. By default, it does not have diffuse color.

In real world, glass is usually transparent and somewhat glossy. In addition to VRay, Conductor also plugs into Chaos’s powerful effects and simulation application Chaos Phoenix, and physical-based shader Chaos Corona.Let's start by creating a VRayMtl material. To make life easier, Conductor is available on Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and can be accessed via their respective marketplaces. Whether you have a lightweight or deeper production pipeline, Conductor has been designed to slip in seamlessly to create minimal disruption, making it the ideal solution for busy boutiques, or large studios looking to render in the cloud. This feature saves our customers several thousands of dollars and many wasted hours every week.Ĭonductor allows you to monitor the progress of your renders in real-time, pause remaining rendering jobs when you are getting closer to your spending limits, and download rendered assets into one place. Remote rendering is a delicate process where a million things can go wrong, so we always recommend checking the scout frames. The idea is that you wait for these to finish and check them visually before rendering an entire sequence. Once this validation step is clear, the scene and assets are shipped to Conductor's render nodes.īy default, only a few tasks are set to render immediately. For example, you should have at least one renderable camera in the scene and you'll see a warning if that's not the case. When you hit the ‘submit’ button, your scene is first checked for potential issues. It is our goal to make sure you don't incur unwanted costs or delays.

Conductor does all the backend work for you, removing any errors and ensuring you only pay for what you use. When you’re ready to render your scene - whether it is created in 3ds Max, Maya or Cinema 4D - simply click on the Conductor Submitter key (inside your chosen DCC’s UI) and select VRay in the menu function.
