Can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial that deals with adding surface imperfections on glass in Octane? Little dings and bumps, micro scratches etc. I have some appropriate textures, but I'm finding it hard to figure out how to connect the right nodes up and adjust the textures so they work properly.

If you share the scene with assets with me via PM, I can try to prepare a possible setup.

Thanks Beppe, I have got a bit further now, by using a bump map with procedural noise and also a normal map with a micro scratches texture. It's getting much closer to what I'm after, I think with glass a normal map shows up much better.

I may send you a file at some point, but for now I'm ok.

Great!
Also a little bit of roughness can help in the effect ;)
Happy GPU Rendering,
ciao Beppe
