Transparent material, not transparent

Alex_G · October 12, 2005, 12:23am

With my Crash model, I tried to make eyes (using my knowledge from the Pixar eye tute on BlenderChar) I realised that the material for the cornea rendered not transparent. So I just decided to append the eyes off Blendo. Tried rendering again and I still have the same problem.

It’s probably something obvious which I looked straight past.

Here is the link for anyone who can help

It is transparent; you’re seeing the black pupil material (4 Mat 2) in the render.

ok but how do I see the blue iris material?

Turn the Material Alpha slider in the Material tab up a bit.

ok I tried that (I’m guessing you’re telling me to raise the cornea material)

but then the eye renders blue, it’s still not transparent :-?

Turn on “TraShad” on the iris, so that the cornea doesn’t cast a shadow on it.
