Description Ohayo, everyone! (^-^)/

Just a quick test of the "realism" tweaks I made to the lenses of her glasses.

Here's what was done to the lenses:

IRL, due to ambient lighting glasses aren't always transparent when seen from an angle, so to mimic that effect their material properties were set to have them be double-sided to give the lenses the illusion of having thickness, with a reflectivity setting of 50 and a transparency setting of .75 along with a light grey[ish] environment bias applied to add a very slight translucency and mimic ambient environmental glare. Edge lines [optional] are also enabled, and all shadowing options are selected.
Just like with real life glasses, this effect disappears when viewed head-on, and they appear transparent like they should when seen from that angle.

Mission accomplished. \(^_^)/

Model: TDA Rhythm Miku V3 (General Release TBA - she's currently in limited release Beta testing and awaiting release authorization.)

Β Update - Now Available for Download : [DL] TDA Rhythm Miku V3

Effects used:
Default lighting only - this is how she appears when she loads and her glasses are added before doing anything else.

I hope you like her. = )

Wow, that's pretty awesome! I know glasses in MMD annoy me a lot because of the transparency thing... And you went and fixed it!! Not bad!

It works really well. I now do this mod on all my edits that have glasses.
A nice added bonus is that with this setting, the lenses also realistically display "flash" reflections when the model is in motion.
