How to set the and adjust transparency to make someting half transparent ?

[filippo]

you can turn off and turn on the trasparency whit the box option in indigo glass material, and you can set the trsparency to set the distersion and index of ref.

if you use a 0.7 test version you could make a blend material. (for example: 50% glass + 50% diffuse)

Doest it really work? I mean, have you tested it and can you confirm it works? The thing is, that every time i use medium material in blend, then i get sooooo messed up rendering. I thought, that blend doesn't work with medium and sss materials.

Gotcha! No problem!
Medium/SSS in Blend could be really great. Sad that it doesn't work

Yeah.. blending transparent stuff (stuff that uses a medium) probably doesn't work. will fix soon

^^ I thought it did work:

eg.

Code: Select all

		<medium>
		<name>Plastic</name>
		<precedence>50</precedence>
		<basic>
			<ior>1.4</ior>
			<cauchy_b_coeff>0</cauchy_b_coeff>
			<absorption_coefficient_spectrum>
				<rgb>
					<rgb>10 10 10</rgb>
				</rgb>
			</absorption_coefficient_spectrum>
			<subsurface_scattering>
				<scattering_coefficient_spectrum>
					<uniform>
						<value>30</value>
					</uniform>
				</scattering_coefficient_spectrum>
				<phase_function>
					<uniform/>
				</phase_function>
			</subsurface_scattering>
		</basic>
	</medium>
	<material>
		<name>Plastic</name>
		<specular>
			<transparent>true</transparent>
		internal_medium_name>Plastic</internal_medium_name>
		</specular>
	</material>

	<material>
		<name>White</name>
		<diffuse>
			<colour>0.975 0.975 0.975</colour>
		</diffuse>
	</material>

	<material>
		<name>PlasticBlend</name>
		<blend>
			<a_name>White</a_name>
			<b_name>Plastic</b_name>
			<blend_factor>0.85</blend_factor>
		</blend>
	</material>

edit: but then again...I notice the scene really goes weird when using reinhard tonemapping.

Therefore, you can use violet
btw... what's with yellow?

indigo 0.7 for 3ds max it's ready?
