Transparent Image Help Please

[dancsank]

Hi

I am an architecture student who needs help before a review. I am using rhino with a maxwell plugin. All I am trying to do is add an image to a maxwell material which I can then tile and make transparent so I can just see the objects behind it. I have tried every option from reflectance, transmittance, nd, roughness, attenuation and mapping the image in each category with no results. All I would like to know is what are the settings and steps to map a jpeg image into a material and then have it be transparent (the same transparency level as like a photoshop image at 70 percent opacity). The surface has no thickness but can go up to 1" if it has to have a thickness for attenuation or whatnot. I really appreciate the help this could save my tons of hours photoshopping.

 

Thanks

I'm sure there's all sorts of interesting stuff, but I didn't read it. I didn't even test it in a render ;-). But the material preview looks OK so it should be at least a start.
