Hello everybody !

Why is the bottle's label is black? Yes the glass is transparent ~ ~ ~
This is what I use texture, its color should be at least close to this map, is not it?

Who help me look, very grateful !

If this is rendered with direct lighting it is normal as no light can arrive on the back of the label.
If this is with path tracing, it is probably due to the distance between the bottle and the sticker being too small for the ray epsilon to properly reflect indirect light onto it...

I think i remember you saying in previous post that you got the dust look by a roughness map? Could you tell more about that?
A very nice effect and very convincing! Great work.

Thanks
