A real leap with realism comes from 3DSMAX and VRay, which has an increased artistic flexibility to create better images. But first, as my disclaimer I must assume you have at least some basic knowledge of 3DSMAX to begin with and can navigate around the program a bit.

Need help. Really useful tutorial as I'm teaching myself vray. This is my first real attempt at creating anything architectural, however; I can't work something out about the windows. Probably being stupid, but the animated GIF says to extrude the front faces to the back and then delete them, followed by the welding of all vertices. I understand this, but what then makes up the glass panels of the window. Please help as I am stumped.
Seems I missed a really simple step. Basically, with the animated gif you're just completing the frame of the window. Now, the glass itself is a box a bit smaller than the size of the frame and a little shorter in width. Then you can duplicate it with the frame.
