Lines in transparent materials

[David Bearss]

I am experimenting with a rendering techinique and want to include transparent and translucent materials. I have created some different transparent materials with different transparency and color and then I have created some tree forms from slab tool and applied a transparent material to get desired effect. Sometimes the trees show grid lines acros them. When I apply the material to a large slab or wall there are no lines. Am wondering if the complexitiy of the tree form is causing?

The fact that the client is impressed doesn't mean that we can have low standards and bad taste.

So it was too bad in the old days that Graphisoft gave us those intense emerald colors for grass and foliage and distorted our vision.

And when transparency in OpenGL finally happened, there was no reason to continue with solid, shiny over-saturated elements.

And this doesn't take any time at all to do.

Wow, that's uncanny. Check out the quick model I made during a design charrette in Georgia. Didn't cause any unrest there, in fact quite impressed the client given the time restrictions.

Wow, that is pretty similar. Our 3D site was a last minute request by the boss. So it too was put together quickly. I really would have like to done a animation showing the phasing. I think this project was done in ArchiCAD 6.0 and Artlantis 4.0 or 4.5 ?
