Transparent lampshade

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 09:53:28 GMT

I am trying to render a kitchen that has a few pendant lights over the island but every time I do the lampshade, that is supposed to be frosted glass and translucent is coming out metallic and opaque. I have gone through the settings a couple of times and make adjustments to things that I think should change it but I am not getting the wanted result. I have attached a copy of the render output and an example of the pendant lights I am trying to emulate.

this is just a hunch but your lamps might still have the "overwrite" material on, which needs to be off for the other surfaces to work, see markup.

Check your Cinerender General Options: https://helpcenter.graphisoft.com/user-guide/77526/#CSH_1578

Maybe your raydepth is too low or transparency is turned off.
