I’ve seen a few tutorials referring to making realistic glass in Eevee, but so far they all seem to produce very unrealistic results. I know Eevee isn’t a ray tracer and can’t compete for realism with the likes of Cycles, but I am just checking to see if anyone has found any hacks or workarounds to…

Check this topic: [image] Realistic Glass in Eevee Tutorials, Tips and Tricks Creating realistic glass in Eevee is difficult due to the fact that settings are spread out in a number of places and not having good defaults. I also added a custom node to control the direction…

check out the free shader at https://gum.co/cwGlass It works pretty darn well and has been updated twice.

Thanks for the responses. I had a look at the suggestions. They could be useful. The ekGlass shader is certainly good at adjusting the reflection level in the glass. Unfortunately the tradeoff is the loss of refraction, which is something I would like to retain if possible. For glass objects in th…

Can you share this scene? I believe you have the shader settings incorrect.

Sure, no problem. Please let me know how it should be set up correctly. The more options we have available for Eevee, the better. The scene uses a low-res HDRI environment image from HDRI Haven ( https://hdrihaven.com/hdri/?h=aircraft_workshop_01 ) but I’ve packed it into the .blend file so there sho…

Some samples I was working with. It’s important to give glass something to reflect as well as something to see behind the glass. Here’s my samples: [testGlass1] [testGlass]

Here are some renders using items from your scene. I just cut and pasted into my scene and added your HDRI and some walls. [testGlass3] [testGlass4] [testGlass2] Here’s the file: https://filedn.com/lLMW4jXsJqxXkRYjd1UCoKL/temp/untitled4.blend

And here’s another pass by separating the inside and outside polys. [testGlass5] [testGlass6] Link to file: https://filedn.com/lLMW4jXsJqxXkRYjd1UCoKL/temp/untitled6.blend

Thanks for posting your renders. They show that you can get refraction with your material, and you’re right it does look good when the scene is adjusted appropriately. Using two materials with different blend modes does give a sense of the thickness of the sides, but at the risk of introducing oth…

Any tips for faking realistic(ish) glass in Eevee?
