I continue to walk along the paths of my fabulous forest and enjoy the solitude. No one bothers to study nature. This time I am interested in transparent and snow-white shapes. Everyone knows that it is very difficult to show white in SH3D, it turns out to be gray and dirty, unlike white pillows and sheets in the bedroom after washing with chlorine. I started experimenting with translucent groups, trying to smooth out the effect of black shadows in deep cracks, turn a pillow into a lamp. This direction is quite promising, but as it turned out, it is poorly suited for such complex models as textile white pillows. Modeling masters are in no way similar to master tailors. Inside such forms there are a huge number of forgotten curved patches, some ribbons, curved strips, there are huge gaps. They are not visible from the outside, but everything appears in the light and it is impossible to get a neat white pillow. Therefore, my advice is not to do stupid things and just add local lighting in places of white surfaces. It is difficult for a complete picture of the light in the room, but it is still effective in the end. You can get a pure white bright textile color. It is much more interesting to work with lamps and make them shine through white milky glasses. This effect is easily obtained by adding the MTL file to the desired groups of future glasses prefix d 0.1-0.8. And assign a texture of the desired shade for these groups (not a color!). Now I want to tell you (or rather, just shout loudly in my empty forest) important thoughts. if you put a bright light source in any transparent shape with a designated texture, then magically it will light up like a real lamp. But in fact, this is the greatest illusion!! To begin with, I will show you in the diagram what the human eye sees when looking at a transparent ball To begin with, I will show you in the diagram what the human eye sees when looking at a transparent ball with a bright light bulb inside. He sees the BRIGHTLY LIT INNER surface of the ball, which is located behind the light bulb, within the boundaries along the outer edge of the figure. The surface that is located in front of the light bulb remains transparent and is NOT ILLUMINATED. It's just that you can view the bright white surface through the transparent part of the ball. But it seems to you that it burns like a fireball. But this is an illusion. If you place a bright light source on the OUTSIDE of the ball between the eye and this ball, then there is a chance to get a bright white surface through which the back illuminated area of the inner surface of the ball WILL NOT BE VISIBLE. Try to hear this important gibberish. Because now you're almost the Lord of the rings. Or almost Harry Potter with a wand. Here is the diagram.
I cite as an example a bedroom that has pendant lights above the bedside tables made of white translucent glass. From this point, the hemispheres are very weak from the viewer's side, so the white texture of the lamps looks gray and cloudy, not white and bright in any way.
