trying to get a wine glass to render with opacity.

siteandsound

I have been trying to render a wine glass that I modeled with opacity. The wine glass looks fine before I render.

But when I render it. It has no opacity. Also the Scaling seems to be getting bigger. What am I doing wrong?

I have no idea why it would appear bigger, but applying a glass shader under the Surfaces tab should give you the transparency, etc. that you desire.

Thanks SixDs, I'll look closer at the Shaders tab.

Under Shader set the Refraction Index to 1.55 and the Refraction Weight to 1.00.

I can't seem to select the wine glass in the shader preset tab. I can't seem to select anything. The funny thing is, I can select it in the parameter tab. Is anybody else having this problem?

Open the Surface tab and select the glass surface.  Shaders need both an object and surface select to apply.

Thanks Fishtales! That was my next adjustment. I found under the Shader editor, that there is about a 20% difference between the viewport View and the render View. I have opacity. Now I need to tweak it a little bit. Thank goodness for spot rendering.

Looks like you have DOF set on that camera and the glass is outside the sharp area that is why it looks fuzzy. Also set the Base Colour to White (1.00, 1.00, 1.00) Glossy Layered Weight to 1.00, Glossy Colour to White (1.00, 1.00, 1.00) and Glossy Reflectivity to 0.80.

I'm sorry jestmart, I use speech recognition. And sometimes it has a mind of its own. I proofread it. but for some reason it seems to change.

Thanks Fishtales! It's helpful to have some exact settings instead of guessing all the time. Again thank you!

You are welcome.
