Hi there! I have a problem with setting of transclucent material like a wax, plastic, etc. So i couldn’t to make material of lampshade. I tried to use frosted glass asset and mod it, but in result was a very noisy thing. Is there a way to make it properly? Look at the images with an expactations and results.
Hello yamuliar
I saw on forums that you were having trouble lighting with one of Moooi’s lamps.
I downloaded the model of the lamp and inserted it in one of my Scenes.
Then with the hot key (i) I selected the material of the object, I did that change material in Cotleh and there I gave it the transparency of 50%.
Then, as you will see in the image the material settings. Finally I put the light inside the object adjusting intensity etc… You will see this on the image.
The result is this
I hope I have helped you
PS: The frosted glass has problems, but it is a matter of adjusting the transparency material

Hi mate, the 2.4 version will come out soon and it will have a subsurface scattering material template, making it easier to make wax effects. Or you can try Ric’s advice to use cloth material instead…

I have here a video of what Oliver was referring to, but it is in Chinese language
Thank you very much! I even did’t expect so fast and useful advice. I used your settings but a bit changed it and got better result, but it still little noisy.
Now i wait for 2.4. Is it possible download beta?

Thanks for the compliment. There are different thoughts and philosophies, that when working on a graphics program it is about rendering one thinks that the solution must be provided by the program, when instead it is enough to know what the program offers you and act with what you have.
You tell me that you have improved it, and this makes me very happy, but it always makes noise, then it can be the graininess of the material, or if there is an image on that curtain material that is too big or put an image just a white sheet , then the reflection which must be zero like the grain. You can play with the material and this is what the D5 program does, then if they improve it by giving a version with models, materials and other effective things that make the job faster, welcome. Dear colleague, I urge you not to lose heart and always try with your mind to go further, there is always something to learn.
