Issues with glow textures :(

Moltar

Ok, so there is a sphere inside the glass (see picture below) that has a glow texture applied to it. When I render the, glow does not show up very well when behind glass, is there a setting I could change to make this work?

I basically want the interior to glow and shine through the glass.

Glass texture is arch & design solid glass.

Try using an arch&design material with self illumination?

FYI this should be posted in the technical talk subforum.

Your problem is that you are using a simple post effect inside of 3dsmax. Which is only applied after the image is rendered. Because your glass object occludes the sphere inside of the z-buffer its not visible for the post effect creation.

OK so what do you suggest I do to fix this?

Unfortunately that won't give the effect I'm looking for. I can make it work if I turns the brightness up but I shouldn't need to do that.

The easy way is to do a composite. Turn the glass off render it. Then render the glass and put it back together at the end.
