Failure happens when you try new things, and this is one of those times. despite the obvious issue of parts of the model clipping through the glass pane, I just can't seem to lessen the frosted glass effect enough to make it a little more transparent. I still want it pretty frosted, where the character disappears into the background, but right now if its not right ON the glass, you can't see it at all. :/
Definitely not the effect I am going for, I'll have to try this one out again sometime in the future to see if I can make it work right.
