Simple glass Material with Standard and PBRMaterial

[SvenFrankson]

Hi,

I have a simple glass shader here : http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#JTFJX3#1

There's nothing complicated about it, yet I have not found a way to have this using the existing BabylonJS shader.

(there's a phong specular from the sourcelight and enlightment on the surfaces perpendicular to the view)

I'd rather have it done with StandardMaterial or PBRMaterial, has anyone already achieved it this way ? I've tweaked FresnelParameters on both Standard and PBR, with no successes so far...

Thanks a lot for your inputs ! Have a nice day.

Awesome with cubes and spheres.

I think that'll help

It's a question  I'm looking for a way to do the same thing with the existing Material classes (Standard and PBR)

That's because we made an UI for the designers to create Materials (they can set most public properties for Standard and PBR instances), and a loader to request and instantiate the Materials they created in their scenes. If we (developers) need to write shaders, they (graphists, designers...) are no longer autonomous in making the Materials, and will come ask us more.

This link has some customization going on.

Though, I think you can't do transparency for PBRMaterial.

Not sure since I don't really use PBRMaterial(I didn't use it even).

Thanks, but our "use case" is a glass on a table, within a much larger scene with many objects. Or a light-bulb.

The refraction of the scene behind is quite too much (performance-wise), as the camera is not that close, some white enlightment is enough to simulate refraction.

Why are you keep on replying on my un edited post -_-.

I keep on accidentally pressing enter (lol).

Should not be a big problem with stdMaterial: https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#857TTR

You can modify it a lot.

Really fun!
