Re: transparency of curtains

Rino,

Transparency is possible, but not necessarily perfect in SH3D. I have been able to achieve good results with images that are either completely opaque or completely transparent. I haven't (yet) been very succesful with gradients or partial transparency. See this thread. Since that post, things have improved: the 3D preview now (more or less) correctly shows transparency. For better results use 3D photo rendering, and you will even get the shadows correct.

Due to the way textures are applied to models, you may want to read this thread as well.

I have tried to apply a partially (say 50%) transparent texture to curtains, but that wasn't succesful. Maybe it works better now, but I haven't tested it yet. It would be nice if you let us know your results.

Re: transparency of curtains

Rino,

One more tip. Use the screentone patterns from Crazykira on Deviantart. The link gives you some examples, but if you search her (?) work, you should be able to find many more similar patterns.

Give them the colour you want, and make the background transparent. You then have a texture that consists of "blobs" that are either 100% transparent or 100% opaque. SH3D and the Sunflow renderer should be able to handle those patterns correctly. If you can't find what you are looking for, I have a series of dotted patterns ranging from 10% to 90% transparent.

EDIT
Try this link: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&global=1&q=patterns
END EDIT

Re: transparency of curtains

Thank you Hans, it work. my only problem now is smooting the objects but I think that actually there isn't a solution in SH.

Re: transparency of curtains

Rino,

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean by smooth.
If you want a more detailed picture, use the highest quality rendering and make the image as large as possible. Then go make yourself coffee, take a shower and go shopping, to wait for the rendering to finish. Scale down the image and you have a very high definition rendering of your model.
