This page documents glass shaders and their properties.
For an overview of glass shaders, see Cheat sheet: Materials-> Glass
For an explanation of material properties and further links, see Material properties
To turn on material transparency, the EnableMask property must be set to True!
Glass
Cyberpunk's glass material, such as base\materials\glass_onesided.mt
Opacity
float, 0.0 - 1.0: Controls glass transparency.
GlassTint
A texture to tint your glass. (TBD: Does it work as a mask?)
TintColor
Glass tint as RGB (copy from e.g. mi_neokitsch_fridge_z_emissive.mi).
IOR
Index of refraction as float, 1.0-2.0: The refraction properties of your material.
Refraction Depth
float 0.0-10.0: Control refraction amount here.
FresnelBias
float, 0.0 - 2.0: How much does the glass behave like a lens (that is, warp the picture behind it)?
BlurRadius
float, 0.0 - 1.0: Blur amount when looking through the glass
VertexColorTint
float, 0.0 - 1.0: Transparency of vertex colour tint

Non-warping glass
For a glass material without view distortion and warping, use base\vehicles\common\materials\glass_windshield_tinted_black.mi
Opacity/OpacityBackFace
float, 0.0 - 5.0: Controls glass transparency. OpacityBackFace will only affect inside-facing normals.
FrontFacesReflectionPower / BackFacesReflectionPower
float, 0.0-10.0: How strongly should the glass reflect?
TintColor/TintSurface
Surface and refraction color as RGB (copy from e.g. mi_neokitsch_fridge_z_emissive.mi).

Half-transparent glass
base\environment\decoration\electronics\devices\device_neokitsch\textures\device_neokitsch_glass_black.mi
Device screen glass
base\fx\shaders\parallaxscreen.mt
ParalaxTexture
Texture that your screen should display, e.g. base\materials\placeholder\black.xbm

Index of refraction
Opacity
1
the material's transparency will be determined by the mask texture
NormalStrength
2.74905014
MaskTexture
texture (black/white)
black parts of the mask will not be affected by this material
Roughness
texture (black/white)
use base\materials\placeholder\white.xbm for maximum roughness
Normal
texture (normal map)
path\to\your\normal_n01.xbm
GlassRoughnessBias
0
???
MaskOpacity
0.629999995
0 - 1, controls glass opacity
BlurRadius
0
will blur the things behind the glass
