The liquid is red and the rest of the plunger is white. (For now.) I haven’t figured out how to make these colors show through the transparency of the syringe tube. I’m using Raytrace right now, I really like the look it gives the syringe tube. I’ve tried ZTransparency also without any luck.

Cheers guys!

For the material of the object inside the syringe you need to select ‘Receive Transparent’ in the Shadow panel

Ba ha ha, I had deleted my lamp instead of hiding it. With that and your fix it works now. Thanks for the input!

Cheers.
