rendering transparent Designing a pool for my mom inlaw, i have come across something odd. In 3d view i can adjust the water with "modify 3d view" "Walls transparency" And the transparency is fine. But when i want to render it, its solid. Is it me, or is there a bug in the program. Thanks. :) |

Re: rendering transparent Is it me, or is there a bug in the program. Neither, I suspect. The 3D view walls transparency does not actually make the walls transparent (walls cannot be transparent in SH3D), it is only a design tool to make it easier to see what you are doing (see recent blog: How to show interior parts hidden by walls).Not sure what you (well, your mother in law) wish(es) to achieve, but you can import a box as a window and apply a transparent texture. See also thread 2954 with attachments. ok |

Re: rendering transparent I just wanted to make the water of the swimming pool transparent. I know there is a tutorial on this site about it, but I could not get it to work. |

Re: rendering transparent I just wanted to make the water of the swimming pool transparent. Maybe use a water texture... Few weeks ago, I put a picture of a sink. It's the same thing for a pool.  ---------------------------------------- Evil progresses when good people do nothing! --- SH3D 7.1 and nothing else - W11 64b in 4K |

Re: rendering transparent Was it the blog: How to design a swimming pool you could not get to work? If so, which part? ok Yes that was the one. For some reason the water (room) stayed opaque. Only the walls got transparent when I moved the slider. I tried a dozen times. |
