i am using iray
by the way
I would try adding a metallic or reflective Iray shader to the glass in question and you should get a reflection from it.
hi thanks where can i get the metallic or reflective iray shadeer
Under Studio - Shader presets - IRAY - DAZ Uber, there should be a whole bunch of default IRAY shaders. You can also purchase plenty more from the store
thanks so much
My favorite is regular glass (but with refraction changed to 1.00 to avoid the characters eyes looking 3 times their size...lol), and a top coat of about .5-.65 weight in "weighted" mode. Weighted mode gives a metallic sheen and is very reflective. In the image I have the top coat weight at .50.

Also, you need something that reflects in the sunglasses; like in AllenArt's image.
where do i get that
This can be done in many ways. You could place a prop in front of the glasses. Or a plane with an image texture on it. Or you could use an hdri in the Environment dome.
thank you
ill try that
