Comparing Regular, Tinted, and Stained Glass for Your Build
Glass Types and Their Uses
Regular Glass: Completely transparent with no color. Use this as your primary glass type for maximum visibility and light transmission. The streak-free clarity makes it ideal for showcasing interiors or creating clean architectural lines.
Tinted Glass: Darkens the view while maintaining transparency. Use tinted glass when you want to reduce light intensity or create a subtle atmospheric effect without adding color. It's useful for creating privacy while keeping the elegant aesthetic.
Stained Glass Strategy
Stained Glass: Solid colors at 50% transparency. These are accent materials, not primary glass. Use them for:
- Decorative window frames
- Colored light effects
- Visual separation between sections
- Thematic color schemes
Practical Recommendations
For most builds, use regular glass as your foundation. Add tinted glass where you need light control. Reserve stained glass for intentional color accents that enhance your design without overwhelming it.
The key to Glamorous Glass is that all types maintain visual clarity and refinement—choose based on your functional needs (transparency, light reduction, color) rather than worrying about texture conflicts.
