Re: Glass Panel
Creating your own glass panel is very simple:

Resize a box to the size of the glass you want.
Export the box as "glass.obj".

With a plain text editor edit the .obj file.
- change the first line starting with "g " to "g glass".
- change the first line starting with "usemtl " to "usemtl Glass".
- remove all other lines starting with "g " or "usemtl ".
Save and close the file.

Now edit the .mtl file.
- Remove everything and add this to the file:

newmtl Glass
illum 2
Ka 1.0 1.0 1.0
Kd 1.0 1.0 1.0
Ns 48.0
Ni 1.45
d 0.2

Save and close the file.

Drag the glass.obj file into your 2D pane: there's your glass panel.
Since it is a simple glass panel you can resize it and change the color.

For more information about the MTL file read my manual The MTL file explained .
