Re: Big project has many problems

Hello Mr Puybaret,

Attached is a link for a test of the previous table, with texture.
http://www.mediafire.com/?3ha9riw5590jaw0

left of the photo, capture of sketchup: I put a non-transparent texture, but I apply the Sketchup intermediate degree of transparency.

The result is transparent in the 3D view, however, rendering him when sunflow is opaque.

Re: Big project has many problems

Sebastien,

When you inspect the texture directory of your model, you will see that the image is in the JPG format. JPGs cannot be transparent. When inspecting the DAE file, you will see there are some lines where transparency is declared. My guess is that the preview generated inside SH3D can handle that trick, but the picture generated outside SH3D (Sunflow render engine) cannot handle that trick.

You might try to convert the image to GIF or PNG format and add transparency. You will then probably lose transparency in the preview, and obtain it in the rendering.

Make sure that you also change the DAE file: use a text editor to change the reference to the picture from JPG to PGN or GIF.

I played a bit with the image and was successful importing the table with PNG and GIF textures. Both show the table top transparent in the preview window, but don't render correctly with Sunflow. As I have discovered earlier, transparency works in SH3D, but it's not as straightforward as you may wish.
