Here are some results I had when experimenting with the transparent versus translucent levels between programs.
This one is transparent, and clear orange. You can see that the glass is barely visible while very little light escapes...
While this one is translucent solid material defined by Sketch up's material editor. The light coming out is stronger, but you can still barely see the flame object. I think some of the resulting "glass" look is from how a dae file assigns a solid texture as translucent, and Sunflow thinks of it as transparent. I might be wrong, but I was wondering if this makes sense?
