Logo on glass
Posted: Tue Jun 02, 2020 1:16 pm
Here's a scene demonstrating a logo on frosted glass. OPTION 1 requires a little modeling, but is simple enough:
Actually, the window is double-glazed (*edit - A single face of Thin Glass on either side of the "window" with glass face normals facing away from center of window where logo is located), with the logo inserted into SketchUp as an "Image" and placed "floating" between the two pieces of glass. The glass is "Architectural>Common" (aka "thin glass") basic Twilight material template.
The png logo image has no template applied. Changing transparency of the png is done in photoshop or other image editor. OPTION 2 requires no modeling, also simple:
Same logo - 90% opacity white with completely clear lettering in the .png file
Template>Frosted Glass>Heavy
The logo is a .png file with clean transparency at the lettering and white at 90% transparent - created in Photoshop and attached below.
