Photoworks transparency

Hello,

I have rendered some nice models using only SolidWorks materials and
indirect illumination. When trying to add some transparency to a
component it does render transparent, but not glass-like as I would
like it. The model's transparent area appears to be divided into small
squared dots. Can anyone help me?

Thank you.

That sounds like "dithering". What are the settings in
"tools"-"options"-"performance"-"tranparency" ??

If I remember correctly this was a problem years back in the pre PW2
version - in that software you needed to increase the amount of
internal reflections to get the black dots to go. I think it was the
number of bounces or some such name. Look for that sort of thing to
change in the settings fot the illumination.

set your refractions to more than 5 and try that going up till till the
black dots dissapear

 

Make sure that you go to the scenery tab and tell the lights to render
transparent. A lot of ppl miss this option when first starting out in
PW.

 

It was as simple as that That you very much!
