screwing around trying to get that type of glass, with the "foggy shattered" look, any ideas?

thinking cell node controlling bump and refraction, but not found anything nice yet =(

The Translucence parameter in P6 works well, but there's

a trick.  You have to have the FRONT of the object facing

the light, and the BACK of the object facing the camera.

(Front and Back in terms of normals.)

Here's a sample of a translucent lampshade: the inner

layer is the translucent part, and its normals face

the light bulb.  The outer layer is semi-transparent,

and its normals face the camera. 

 

You could do a shower door similarly.  Take two one-sided

squares; face them oppositely; set the layer inside the

shower to translucent, and the outer one 80% transparent.

Add a Spots or Clouds node to the transparency on the

outer one.

hmm.....not quite the effect i'm going for

tried finding a pic, but i'm at work -_-

the glass i'm trying to make, is like....ever seen office doors? the old PI movies have em alot :)
and the glass is foggy, but has areas "bumped" out it seems, giving the effect of a lense
if the fog is taken away, you would see a very slight "zoomed out" effect of whats behind it

so i know refraction will be used, and a bit of reflection (glass duh)
cell node for the pattern, in either bump or dispacement

but it doesnt look like it should -_-

for tests, just using a cylinder behind a square

refraction 1.5, granite/cell/noise (pick one, granite is above) into bump 0.15
cell looks to makes bumps a bit smoother, but looks more uniform rather than random =/
