Hello everyone...

I'm in the market for a glass coffin for a render I have in mind...  Could someone put me on the right track as to where I could purchase one, please?  Thanks so much!! ^_^

there is a sci-fi coffin in freestuff that might work. http://www.renderosity.com/mod/freestuff/details.php?item_id=71855

you might have to play with the textures.

I don't think you need to specifically find a glass coffin. A regular one should do just make it a little transparent. At least enough to see the body within. If you need more than that, Poser has glass shaders in the material folder that you can use.

Or if you want something ornamental and gothy, you might look for things like steamer trunks or music boxes that have lids.  Scale it up, give the lid a glass texture, and you've got a fancy coffin.

For instance, this "ornate box" has a definite coffiny look.

Transparency would a good cheat unless you are looking to reproduce an actual, realistic glass coffin.  Fresnel reflection and refraction will need to come into play, but at a cost of significantly increased render time.

Which Poser version are you using?

 I have Poser 7...I'm so behind the times

Hold on a moment, I am working on a render and Mat Room shaders usable in P7.

I suppose this render is something you are striving to achieve.  The coffin is from Mytilus's Vampire's Cradle and I changed the shaders for both the handles and the casket.  I left the internal coffin liner.  Usually I work with PP2014 but for this instance, I adjusted render settings down to simulating a P7 render.  

This is the Mat Room shaders to simulate the glass for the casket.  You can use this for any free coffin you find either in the Rendo freebie section or Sharecg.com; no need to purchase.  This shader arrangement was published by Bagginsbill in a post @ RuntimeDNA quite some time ago, I am not taking any credit for it.  If you search for The Fresnel Effect by BB you should find it fascinating reading.  I don't have the link ATM, only a printed copy.  But I will be glad to shed any further light if you have questions.

WOOOOOT!!! THANK YOU, HBORRE!!  YOU'RE MY HERO!!!

And thank you all who responded with some great solutions!!  I greatly appreciate the help/suggestions...and again...thank you all so much!!
