Strategically add more lights, or white or black planes, until you get the results you are after.

Here's a single very large area light on the same scene: you can see the transparency, reflectiveness, roundness of the object and the overall shape of the object inside the glass.ĭelete all the lights you are using, set the world to a black environment, and start with a single large light and play with it, pay attention at what happens with the reflections and the shape of the object, move it and play with the size until you find something that you like, and that suits your needs. Use large area lights and white panels to light the scene, so that the reflections are much larger and more pleasant (or less distracting). The same principles apply for 3D rendering.

That is the very reason why photographers never use point light sources to light shiny objects.ĭo an internet search for articles on how to photograph glass and shiny objects. Using point lights or very small sources will always result in the kind of ugly spots that you dislike. Instead of trying to suppress the reflections, you need to use them to your advantage, so that they feature the characteristics of your object.

If you take away the reflections then it will no longer look like glass. Glass is supposed to be transparent and reflective (and other thing is refractive, can disperse and absorb light, etc).
