i'm currently working on a project which includes rendering candles in a solid glass candleholder… i've managed to create some decent glass materials, however they all seem to work well only for thinner walled objects, such as windows or cups… does anybody have any suggestions for how i can get a realistic "thick" piece of glass… one of the problems seems to be in how it distorts objects which are seen behind it… also, any tips related to setting up lights for glass effects would be greatly appreciated… thanks… joe
