Hi, does anyone know any tutorial about composing ‘glass’ obj ? i need to know the right way to do that, it involves transparent/reflection/refraction pass. Is it better to render out from 3d in the beauty pass as premultiplied or not (render background through the tranparent) ? or any other method ? anyone has any experience in this matter ? or can anyone point me to any good tutorial on the web.
Thanx.

- To be flexible and team oriented
- To communicate about their progress and ideas with their supervisor and producer daily
Requirements:
- Ability to interpret models from both 3D scans or 2D artwork
- Advanced UV skills a must

Textures can be created from scratch or sampled from photos, scanned reference or any other artwork necessary to create new objects or to match the surfaces of existing live action. A strong understanding and sympathy for real world materials is essential and must be demonstrated in the work on your reel.

Duties and Responsibilities:
- Ability to demonstrate proficiency in creating photo-realistic textures
