Topic: I can't make curtain walls by glass ... could any one help me

[se7sedes]

I have a glass material i front of the building how I can reduce the transparency of the glass like lumion 1 ...

water as glass:

ive had some success using water material for glass that i want to tint and be "less" transparent.

ive also wanted to experiment with mapping a nice big sky texture to the glass before import. then tag it as glass material and use the "texture influence" slider to make it less transparent which would show a fake shy reflection. i dont know...just need time to try that or even a stippled, transparent png as the texture and use texture influnce. not sure if that would work but hoping it would give a sense of clouding or tinting the glass as it reduces its transparency.

i've done the stiple.png. using a high res texture.   
Works a little bit in some situations.
Has its ups and downs.
