An experiment was done to determine the effect of various settings of the transparency function in Poser.

The test setup had a single cylinder with 5 horizontal "slices." Each slice had it's "Falloff" set to a different value from 0.00 to 10.0 as shown. The "falloff" values are constant for each of the 25 samples.

A cylinder was used because it has both a curved surface (x axis) and a flat surface (y axis) at a varying angle.

A single infinite white (100%) light
was located at x=0, y=0, z=0.

Shadows were turned OFF.

Anti-aliasing was not used.

This chart is intended to be a general reference guide only.
The transparency function can also be affected by object color, light(s) color and setting, texture color, bump maps, and reflection maps and settings.

This chart is not intended to be an absolute reference but a general guide depending on the effect that is trying to be produced.

The "Trans-Min" and "Trans-Max" values used are shown in chart#2 and were varied in 25% steps, e.g., 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%.

The "Trans-Min" is shown from 0% to 100%. (left to right)
The "Trans-Max" is shown from 0% to 100%. (bottom to top)

The 3rd picture shows the test setup.

Remember ... "With Poser, all things are possible, and poseable!"
