Erik Lund Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Anyone know how to make objects Translucent in max/viz? For example a light shade or frosted glass. Is there any native rendering abilities in max that will do this? I also have Mental Ray,Cebas Final Render, and Brazil. I know these plugins can do it but I would pefer to use a native max technique, if max can do it without a plugin renderer. Thanx in advance.

STRAT Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 well i pressume you mean something more than using the opacity/translucency slider? something like sss maybe? can you be more specific? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 Hey Eric try using the raytrace material, and look for translucency (under extended parameters) this will glow brighter when a light is behind the object usefull for cloth and shades n stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Lund Posted July 5, 2002 Author Share Posted July 5, 2002 Thanx, i've tried that, but the result isn't quite what I am looking for. I see that Max 5 has fixed this feature for a better looking tranclusency. Thax for the help though!

John Dollus Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 FinalRender has some very nice translucency and frosted glass. Have you downloaded their updated material libraries? John D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
