Hi, how to make transparent objects in the scene?

> Hi, how to make transparent objects in the scene?

Maukin, Sorry to say this is not a MoI feature.

MoI has a script for capturing the screen image to memory.

script:var v = moi.ui.getActiveViewport(); if ( v != null ) { moi.view.lineWidth = 2; v.renderToClipboard( 2400, 1200 ); moi.view.lineWidth = 1; }

I use Adobe Photoshop to blend different captures to give the illusion of transparency.

Hi Mukhin, MoI does not currently have any mechanism in it to make objects transparent.

You can however, enable a "hidden-line" edge display which will draw hidden edges and curves in a faint dashed line style and allow them to be accessed even when they are behind solid objects. It gives a kind of pseudo transparency effect in some cases.

To turn that hidden line display on or off use the checkbox under View > "Display hidden lines".


EDIT: ok I didn't understand at first that you were asking about how he made the images in the tutorial above...

Mike,

really great tutorial. I have to say I have read over all your tutorials and have picked up a lot from them. i enjoy them quite a bit.

Val

Thank you Val,

I really do appreciate the complement!

I hope you find some good uses for the techniques.

Mike

Merci beaucoup, Pilou! :-)

Beautiful translation - You do such an honor to my work!

I'll update my web site soon.

Bravo, belle traduction.

Merci

Thanks to Pilou and Didier for the idea: I'm going to play a bit with this Sketchfab thing...



It would be a nice idea to occasionally show an interactive preview for any given tutorial.

Cool!
Have you the code of the share "Embeded" chair on a site ?
I don't see this code on my old computer! I have not all the options!

<iframe frameborder="0" height="800" width="800" src="http://skfb.ly/m4ji3gedb?autostart=1&transparent=1&autospin=1&controls=0"></iframe>

Pilou, I'll try to remember to send you the "iframe" script if I happen to post a model.

I'm beginning to like Sketchfab. They let you do nice things with the materials and you can customize your "iframe" a little.
ex:
autostart=1
transparent=1
autospin=1
controls=0
Just think of the extras they give you if you actually pay? But with larger model sized comes longer download times.
So use sparingly.



By the way, the 'autospin' can accept other numbers besides '1' and '0'... this nightmare is set to '130'! ;-)

THX! ;) This prog is terrific!
somewhere on the end! ;)

Ps What must do Controls 0 & 1 ?
Edit ;)
controls: set this to 1 or 0. If set to 0, the controls in the embed will not be shown.

A little aside from the subject, but "chair" related... However, WOW!

This one makes me think: "1960's jetliner".

They provide files to incorporate their products into your scene models. (helps sales, of course)

Unfortunately, no NURBS versions, but great study none the less.

(why am I so excited about this?... must be the caffeine... why am I now discovering this cool design?)

Ok, Mikey gonna study him some high-end furniture... can't promise tutorials. ;-)

Do you know this guy ?
