Please see this:
I use the blender essential material lib “thinwall glass”.
Why it looks so bad? How to make good looking glass?Pekka
2022-03-08 at 12:39 pm #50009pekkizzCustomeroh, it should be solid glass :)
But it looks also bad:
Can you tell me what is the problem?
2022-03-09 at 10:19 am #50048Mikhail LuzyaninStaffYes, thin walled glass still works bad for some meshes, but solid glass must work fine. Can you share this example of wineglass by attaching it here. Just isolate it in the blend file, no need to share all scene.

2022-03-09 at 11:21 am #50058pekkizzCustomerThanks!
I must have some transparency also on this glass:It´s not possible?
2022-03-09 at 11:37 am #50061Mikhail LuzyaninStaffTry to use SSR for this mateial this may help, but unfortunally for now to get something good for transperency in the engine unpossible. Thinglass good mostly for one sided planes or something (for windows for example), solid glass good for balls or glass figures. SSR can do some job but it will be very hard to render for moble devices and some old PCs.

2022-03-09 at 11:42 am #50062pekkizzCustomerOk.
In your online docs i found out:
Also, these effects can be enabled with Puzzles:
Screen Space Reflection and Refraction (SSR)Is there any info / docs about using this, how to setup and do I have do something in blender too?
Thank you for the help you have provided!

YOu just need to have refraction on more than 0 or use refraction node, or use Solid Glass shader that already has refraction set 1. You can try to use Simple Refraction (it’s very simple to use) or SSR Refraction, but tweaking may take some time. It’s still a “dark matter” even for me can’t give you too musch recomendations and docs keep silince how to properly set up it.

2022-03-09 at 12:08 pm #50064pekkizzCustomerCool, I might try this.
But where here I add the “refraction on more than 0” or the “refraction node”Please see the attached image

I mean if you do not use Solid Glass shader you need to add Refraction manually to your shader that you already have.

2022-03-09 at 12:29 pm #50067pekkizzCustomerHey, it looks good I think!
Can I anyhow decrease the amount of saturation of objects seen through this glass? I think less saturated and not so dark orange color of the juices would be more realistic?
2022-03-09 at 12:37 pm #50068Mikhail LuzyaninStaffTry to change color of the Glass Shader node to white.
