Transparency & Alpa in a model
Posted: Sat Nov 14, 2020 12:56 pm
Hi all,
I am new to rendering and am using sketchup pro 2020 to render interiors. I have a particular model that is of a lampshade that is causing me difficulty. Its a download from the 3d Warehouse and it keeps rendering transparant and I can't work out why.
I have no understanding of translucency and alpha settings and thin this is what is causing me issues. I have tried changing the lighting settings but the model just won't display as a glowing pendant light as I'd like it to.
As a hobby user I have read lots of tips and tricks and before purchasing a full blown version I would like to understand if there are a glossary and deeper help information for starter renderers like me (I'm a teaching myself)
Thanks very much for your advise
Ivan
