I am working on an image, sorry I don't have it available now to post, and I am trying to resolve one issue at the moment. I have a window with a spotlight outside of it and curtains over part of the window. The curtains have about a 30% transparency. I have the render set at light through transparency hoping that the light passing through the curtain would lighten up more than the part of the curtain covering the wall. This hasn't happened. I could easily fix this in Photoshop but would like to know if Carrara is capable of this effect and I am just missing something. I'll try to post an image an image later if my explanation above doesn't make any sense! Thanks in advance for any input. memaci
