[Bf-committers] From Farsthary another anouncement

[Roger Wickes]

(trivia Q:
who here knows the right combination of sliders to get a basic,
correct looking glass in Blender atm? is it even possible?). 

I use the Blender Materials Library. haha. But you are correct, with the current array of panels and sliders and swatches, there are two drawbacks:
1) if it's not the right "glass", then the user does not know what to modify it to get what they want
2) if there is nothing close in their library to get what they want, they are at a loss. 

But even in that your point still holds; green glass has not been updated for the latest Ray Transparency additions.

quoted for agreement:

"Not only is it cumbersome in terms of manual labour required, but it also makes
it much more confusing to use, especially when depending on what
you're doing, all the other settings (that aren't necessarily relevant
or work at all in that context) still hang around."
