Replicating sharp broken glass edges

Question

I am inspired by an image from a recent question here. I couldn't figure out how to model (Maybe texture) the look and feel of sharp glass edges around a spherical shape and SubSurf.

You can set creases on the edges that you need to be sharp.

A quick example

To make glass just model it to how u want it to look, try and keep it as random as u can.

Then just add a glass material https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRRN7yzPNQI btw your glass should look way better if u follow the tutorial i just added the material without doing anything to it in the photo below

Also if u dont want to use cycles u can just turn down the transparency (alpha) as ive done here https://sketchfab.com/models/177e494fdada4b64b02acf041ae8cfdd

Edit: Something like this?

Thank you... but "Spherical" and with a subsurf modifier. And random angled edges so it looks real. – Dontwalk Mar 07 '18 at 05:18
check edit please – user34162 Mar 07 '18 at 05:34
Ty for your time... but not only no 90' angles but even more random within... like the image – Dontwalk Mar 07 '18 at 05:57
Needs to be random – Dontwalk Mar 07 '18 at 06:40
