   Hi Mike,

I doubt it’s the material definition you posted. It renders as a nice solid blue on mah machine. I have blown up the image and seen what you mean. It sure looks like a transparent material has been applied to it.

Just one? I would fill up a few *lines* with question marks if I wasn’t worried about leaving some for the rest of you.

I tried it again, thinking maybe it was just last night or something. Same problem. So I tried something different: I changed the color to Color11 (MLCAD Cyan) and tried adjusting the transparency via rgbt (since it’s an MLCAD solid color, no filter settings were put in). And, believe it or not...though the color of the sceptre changes to cyan, the transparency never changes no matter what!!

No matter what t value I put in, it stays the same old same old color. A transmit value of .2 should make the thing practically invisible and instead it’s the most solid object in the render. In fact, I can completely change the RGB value (originally was something like .6,.9,1) - to 1,1,.2 - and the sceptre never changes color!!

ARGH!!

At the risk of revealing way too much of my project I’ll post the POV file in high hopes that *someone* out there can figure out what in the Milky Way (which I notice is kind of a transparent white) is going on here. I should just hire one of you as a full-time personal raytracing consultant.

Once again I plead for your help...

Frustrated,

This file renders fine on my machine. I'd say a) Get a clean copy of the Ldraw radisioty file (and, BTW, try rendering without radiosity to see if there is any difference - I doubt it, but hey) or b) Provide your specific color settings (including (...) (21 years ago, 4-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
