Hi all, I wanted to make the curtains on the image below a bit transparent but dont understand how to since the material is transparent or not ...

I also tried to make them more shiny by make them act as very slight meshlights but it doesn't work in this scene ...

Thanks

Hi Delic,
wait until the next version and there will be a diffuse transmitter material u can use for curtains.

Thanks.
Nice

Is there also a way to make non complete transparent specular materials, for thin plastic materials ?

Nice scene btw, the main thing wrecking it is that annoying black edge bug.

Yeah, try using absorption:
look for rgb_absorptivity in the manual:

The Scene is really nice, but what lies on the front table next to the glasses

Yes.. it's the same.
It's a normals bug.
I think it's due to the blender exporter calculating the smoothed normals incorrectly, but perhaps not.
This bug really needs to be squashed

You mean on the leather material ?
It's too bright, but cant avoid this strange black reflect ...
Initially I i put a bump map for the leather and the parquet but it slows too much the render ....

Yes, the strange black reflection on the sofas is a bug.

I'll try to reexport it with one level subsurf, perhaps it will be better .
Or does the bug comme from the material settings ?
