I have a challenge. I have managed to get (for the most part) what it is I am looking for in the way of a glass rendered figure. I might add with the help of all you who contributed to this thread. However... When I export or render to a png file the image is not right. It is solid and does not represent glass at all. I get a better export/render when there is an object (say a square with a design(sky)) behind the glass figure. However, when this is exported to a png (image) file the figure and the background object are one bitmap. I need the figure to stand alone. I am wanting to export the figure into Fireworks and later into a Flash movie. So it is important that it be the single figure. I hope this makes sense. Thanks,
