Roman Doric Ornamental Temple kit made of glass?

Pitmatic

Hi I know this is an old product  https://www.daz3d.com/roman-doric-ornamental-temple-kit but surely it should not be made of glass?

I'm loading it into DS to see for myself, but presumably the shader uses some setting that Iray doesn't know how to interpret.

"Refraction active" is the parameter you're looking for. Somewhat surprisingly, just slapping Iray Uber on it didn't solve that particular problem. I guess the conversion to Uber works TOO well, and you have to turn refraction weight down. Fortunately, this set is mostly instances, so you don't have to worry about changing that many surfaces.

Thank you @Gordig! everyday is a school day :)

Though an all  glass temple mixed into some volumetric clouds could be a interesting rendered location for mount Olympus.

I went one small step further & imagined the glass temple having a volumetric cloud shader instead of glass. Suddenly it starts to look very surreal...

Perhaps It's transparent aluminum?  Or a rare, colorless form of obsidian?  Or perhaps it's a photo taken in X-Ray light?

DS just slaps the Iray Uber shader on at render time anyway, so it is unsurprising that doing so manually produced the same result. Presumably it's just a quirk of the 3delight shaders.

I think slaps is going to be my word of the day :)
