Hey! Just sharing an idea of how to get nice looking tinted windows/glass in EEVEE. Unfortunately, it doesn’t give you colored shadows. Does anyone have a better solution? Setups in Blender 2.8 (build=2018-12-28): [Tinted_Windows_EEVEE_Blender_2_8_AndersFahlstrom] (in the image, the rear wind…

usually if you want higher reflections,then you only need to increase the specular value. if you are familiar with IOR values you can convert a IOR value to specular with this formular https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/render/cycles/nodes/types/shaders/principled.html at refractive index …

@pixelgrip I am familiar with the principled shader, IOR, metallic and all that. I was just happy to find a way to get the glass darker without disappearing. I just mentioned what “metallic” does if you increase it. It may not be correct and / or realistic, it was not the meaning. I changed a littl…

[image] AndersFahlstrom: Do you have a better way to solve this? I am not sure what you mean exactly?of course you can mix all nodes and parameter like you want.as sayed in my post before,every material, in this case the glass,has its own IOR.maybe you dont know the exact glass type, what is …

Why use principled? Glass is basically fresnel -> refraction and glossy, where refraction can be replaced with transparency (some tricks may be required, been discussed to death before), where the fresnel can be curved/powered if you need to (for i.e. antireflective coating effects) and the refracti…

@pixelgrip Thanks but I meant to get a tinted look in eevee, It’s easy in cycles

[image] AndersFahlstrom: Thanks but I meant to get a tinted look. ok,then CarlGs method is maybe the best,with refraction and glossy shader.this way you have inputs for the color and a seperate reflection color afaik CarlG has posted many glass shader before,maybe he can post a link for a si…

[image] pixelgrip: it should be allways white Not always , which is why I emphasized it. I don’t know how the tinted portion of the car glass is produced. I have coated eye glasses myself, and you can clearly see a green tint on facing reflections which becomes white at grazing angles. Being a…

[image] CarlG: I don’t know how the tinted portion of the car glass is produced. I have coated eye glasses myself, and you can clearly see a green tint on facing reflections which becomes white at grazing angles. Being anti reflective, I’m guessing the fresnel should undergo a power curve as wel…

I know, but we don’t have a builtin efficient thinfilm shader. For things as simple as a green tint at facing angles, I’ll rather fake it as I described. I might use the thinfilm setup if I did more complex colory things such as oil on water, soap bubbles etc. I value efficient/intuitive but plausi…

[image] CarlG: I value efficient/intuitive but plausible more than hypercomplex/unintuitive but physically accurate. Usually eyeballing it is actually sufficient :smiley: and not what makes or breaks the image. fair enough.your own glass setup you are meantioned [image] CarlG: Glass is b…

After posting this, I found the updated cwGlass/ekGlass and played with the settings there, it’s just been updated to be even better since yesterday too:

Such a good community!
