Transparent container?

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

I have the need to show a container as transparent (glass or plastic) with something inside. Thus far I have not figured out how to do it. Any hints?

Thanks,

Hi KMAC- is this a rendering or a viewport display, or?

Rendering so that I can obtain an image for use on a website.

Thanks

Hi KMAC- you can set materials to have transparency and IOR - is that (the material) the roadblock ?

I’ve tried to change the materials properties, with no luck.

Here’s a file with a glass object - does that help?

I guess that’s a V6, I’m syill in V5. I’m always hesitant and slow to upgrade. :slight_smile:

Here is a V5 version - GlassTest_5.3dm (434.7 KB)

RhinoRender is not fast with transparency and area (rectangular) lighting and an environment… Cycles in V6 is better for this scene. But the main thing is the custom material with IOR etc.
