glass look

[PAKMN]

Hello.
Was wondering, how can i make a glass look ,like in windows and table tops. have tried ,but cant get the look I want,

I am not eaxtly sure how one would accomplish this effect either. I am assuming you are looking for a glass plane, not a glass bead like my avatar? I think the easiest way to do just that might be in a 3D program, but I am not an expert, so you'll want to wait for a better answer probably.

depends what type of glass look you want to create...

buttons, balls, planes ect.

Pakmn, it's all a matter of light... highlights, shadows & reflections. Just take a look at a window or a nicely waxed tabletop and you'll see what I mean.

I agree with Wendy here... real-world study will help to solve this quandry. [excited]

I don't know if that really helps you, but maybe, you can get some inspiration from this tutorial: http://www.xaraxone.com/tutorials/jan02/

It's a champagne glass for Xara X (vector graphics program), but the general principle should be the same.
