AV Works 2.1 transparency limit

Richard Swann — Tue, 20 Jul 2004 13:56:36 GMT

While trying out the AV works 2.1 demo on AC8.1R2 (mac OS10.3) I have been attempting to photorender a building view involving lots of glazing at different angles. AV works seams to have a self imposed limit on the transparency of a material- I just get green sludge rather than clear glass for example, or indeed anything that looks like glass unless I return to ArchiCADs own renderer.
Does anybody have any tips on how to get shiny, transparent glass using AV works 2.1?

I am not going to help you here Richard, I just want to say that we have had same problems at our office with glass material in AV works (while beta testing it). I have tried a lot of possible combinations and tweaking but I just couldn't have worked that out at all. Unfortunately there seems to be some dodgy internal definition of it.

try to contact Abvent directly

Ladies and gentlemen,

Please let us NOT duplicate the posts; this topic is discussed and the solution is offered in the Rendering forum.

If you ask a question somewhere, and you put it in the wrong place, I will move it where it belongs.

Multiple posts do not bring you better answers, they just create clutter.

Thanks,
