I am trying to place a label on a bottle in Carrara 2.0. I am able to create a rectangle containing the label on the glass bottle, but I cannot figure out how to keep the label solid, it comes through as transparent. This is one area that worked a lot more easily in Ray Dream. thanks a bunch in advance. Vernonglen

You need to set a value in the label transparency channel to zero. I suspect it currently is inheriting the transparency of the bottle because it's been left at "none". Mark
