frodo_001 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hello: I'm using the vray for sketchup version and want to make a render for a tensile structure. The main problem I have had it's on making the material because the tensile structure fabric that I must simulate its a little beigge translucent one. So after many days I finally could make a material using the 2 sided material option and unchecking the double sided box from the options, and obtained a very nice traslucency just like the one the fabric has when it's installed. it can be aprecciated on the building wall and the shadow. But the shadows over the membrane where completly lost and appeared to be just plain color. Can any one help me with this I've been trying any kind of combinations for the 2 sided material, from applying one material only to one of the sides and the other none, to using two materials one opaque and the other translucid. I show you the result on the attached image Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm over-doing it slightly in my example to exaggerate the color, but you get the idea. Edited June 16, 2009 by BrianKitts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frodo_001 Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Thank you for the answer and yes it is exactly what I need to do but I cannot find the option on VRAY for sketchup for making a Material like this, any ideas? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic H Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 just add a bit of refraction in the front material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
