Thread: Poser transparency | Forum: Carrara
You probably can't tell from the image above but her eyes are screwed up. I shaded them like Poser-Judy eyes but DAZ eyes are different. In the pic aboive her eyewhites are transparent ;-) (One less object in the DAZ eye IIRC). I did notice a problem with the transparent POSER eye sphere over the eye-white but that seemed to me to be more of a registration problem. That is, they didn't seem quite centered after I imported. I think that was because one was a sphere and the other was a sphere with a side cut off. One of the two programs used the sphere center as object center and the other used the actual center for the truncated sphere, I think. Sliding it over to recenter seemed to fix it. I like the DAZ eyes better, just the eye white and lens. No transparent object over the eyewhite. As for the skin tight transparent, that seems to work fine. In one incarnation, I had an offset on the skin and mermaid due to a morph not quite lining up between the two objects. In the future, I'll just mod the under-mesh after importing. Anyway, thanks for the help. The opacity trick is a big help for me when importing poser transparencies. Is this already listed somewhere? I posted my shader here for the next frustrated newbie but is this already covered on a tutorial I missed? Marc

Looks like my shadow from transparent objects was due to the renderer (raytracer works fine). Thanks for the pointers above.
Link below has an image rendered with Ray Tracer with a shader similar to the one above on the dress.
I've left the faerie's dress somewhat transparent to demonstrate partial transparency which I was having trouble getting right in carrara. The dress has both partial transparency and full transparency with no transition shininess. (The dress mesh is one of the Poser 5 dresses with straps over the shoulder and transparency removes the straps and scallops the hem.)
In the process also realized that poser used transparency for eyebrows and applied a similar shader to the eyebrows to get rid of my racoon look ;-). This image also changes the lights sources which cleared up many of the other funny shadows on the faerie in the earlier link.
Thanks for the help

Thanks both. I'll post a render tonight that uses the shader above.
In the meantime, the faerie in the link below has one of my shadow problems in it. I think this is the raytrace shadows versus soft shadows Scott mentioned. Notice the shadow of two straps over her shoulder (her dress is a strapped dress with a transparency map to remove the top).
I'm new to Cararra and don't recall a shadow/raytrace option you mention. Is that a render option? BTW the pic below does not use the opacity trick, just a texture map for transparency and the light green at dress edge is the partial transparency "glow" that seems to be well known.
My other shadow problem is more of my making and has to do with a slight gap I have between the mermaid bodice and her chest due to some morphs I applied.
Thanks,
Marc
