Lamp material

Post by Ibon » Thu Sep 03, 2009 7:26 am

Hi Twilight friends. I'm trying to get a lamp material and because it's my first time with TR and after reading the manual I have some questions:

- I've noticed that Lampshade library materials (lampshades and translucent) are good, and investigating their behaviour i've seen that they have to be applied in a closed geometry, and that geometry's thickness determines how much light passes through it. But even in very thin objects, i see that very few light passes, is any way to make that library material more transparent? (i've read that library materials can't be edited). An if it's not possible, is there any way to create a translucent material?

Thanks for your help!

As Twilight can use Kerkythea material libraries, you can use kerkythea as your material editor. Look at Manual_TwilightRender_v1.0.pdf page 31.
