Unusual effect. Texture / Mesh / Blender

[Sunbleached]

Once I made a window and it turned out so unusual, the light is reflected like something else. but I didn't remember how I did it. here for comparison, a simple cube with all the settings and textures repeating the window glass. but the effect is completely different. I never managed to repeat this effect again. no matter flat or smooth setting in a blender. Can anyone know how to repeat this effect?

It uses materials. Normal map is a default plain texture.

What are the values for Glossiness, and Environment, under Shininess in the build floater, on the window? I would think you just need to increase those on the prim.

Hello! The window and cube they both have default   51/0   glossiness/environment settings.

What's the diffuse texture?

This texture, 30% transparency. And I used the same texture as AO map

Might be it, materials aren't toned down on alpha blended textures the same way they are simply setting the prim transparency property.

So whatever specmap/specular properties you have will be much more visible.

That's how I make glass nowadays.
