To show the difference between both types of glass, nothing better than a practical example! Here is the place at the Material tab of LuxBlend where the architectural button can turn a glass material into architectural glass.īefore we render a scene with this type of glass, here is a simple scene with a big panel set as a regular glass material of LuxRender.

One of those other features is the ability to set a material as glass and make it behave like architectural glass.īut, what is the difference between regular glass materials and architectural glass? For those of you who have manage to create interior renderings using old versions of YafRay, the objects that had materials set to transparent in order to simulate a glass surface, didnâ€™t let all the light pass by the plane. We have some other features that help to solve specific problems of architectural rendering. Besides all the features like the Light Groups, this allows us to control almost each aspect of the lights at the scene. If you have visited the blog in the last couple days, you may have noticed that LuxRender has a lot of interesting tools and features to help us in the process of creating great renderings for architectural visualization.
