Methods to create various glass designs using SketchUp
The use of glass in architectural visualization has become a common practice in recent years. We can use it for all kinds of surfaces and objects in our interior spaces not only for doors and windows but also to personalize and add a touch of personality to the spaces when it comes to doors and windows.
Steps to create a clear glass outlook
1. The first thing you will need to do is create a generic material within the asset editor of V-ray to make the clear glass material.
2. Then the V-ray material parameters can be opened by clicking the arrow icon after you have created and renamed your material.
3. You can adjust the material parameters to match the look and feel you desire.
To make the glass clear
1. A clear glass material can be decorated with black diffuse colors since this won't have much of an effect.
2. Glass materials to look clear should have a minimum reflection color value in order to maximize reflectivity.

3. Light passes through objects according to their refraction color. Materials that are opaque are used at the lowest value, and those that are translucent are used at the minimum value.
Steps to create tinted glass materials
1. Since we have already created a clear glass material, it will not be very difficult to create a tinted glass material in the same way.
2. It is important that we apply the same V-ray material settings for the fog as we did for the clear glass and adjust the fog color under the Refraction tab just as we did for the clear glass.
3. There is an option to leave the foggy color value at its maximum and to adjust the appearance of the material by selecting the color box rather than the fog color value.
4. Also, you can increase or decrease the intensity of the color by using the Fog Multiplier in order to change how strong it is.
