[ENDED] BC4-1810 – October 2018 Class Homepage – Shading & Lighting with Blender

And another tip that may be useful for my fellow comrades. It was my answer to Grady’s homework but I think someone could use this info too. Since we are mostly doing cars this week, somebody may want to know, how to enable transmission in EEVEE to make some transparent windows.

First of all, you should enable Screen Space Reflections and check the “Refraction” on.

The second – you should go to your materials tab (for your “window” object) and enable “Screen Space Refraction” checkbox under the options dropdown. You can also set the approximate “glass” thickness here (refraction depth).

And then you can tweak your principled bsdf node transmission, IOR etc. values to get what you want.

@nekronavt Thanks for the great explanations Pavel! This will come in handy the coming weeks 🤘🏻😎

@nekronavt Interesting… I made the glass transmissive by changing the blend mode from Opaque to Multiply. Is that a wrong way of going about it?

[Pavel Mazanik]

@shiennar this method is fine for some situations, but not as realistic. I don’t think you can do something like this with it. 

With screen space refractions you are still able to change roughness, transmission value etc. And have refractions of course.

Somehow, I think mine got left off both the grade list and the reel for week 1. 😀  Only thing I can figure was I left my last name off mine, but figured mine was close enough. But I added my full name on my thread.I also added it to the top section, which may be why it was missed.

@gradyp I think double dash in thread title can be suspected 🙂 So if some on use “BC4-1810” in search field your thread won’t show up because it’s “BC4–1810”

[Grady Pruitt]

@nekronavt Didn’t notice that 😀 Probably double dashed out of habit. But fixed now 😀

@chrismckay AFAIK that button to message a member, including me, sends an email to the address associated with the user’s CGC account. I just checked and I did not receive a message to my email. You can try manually: kent@cgcookie.com

@jakeblended WOOHOO! Very glad to hear you can blend again 🎉

[Kent Trammell]

@nekronavt Me saying I didn’t like then was too harsh. I’ve only tried them a couple times and it wasn’t as intuitive to me as simply enabling the Screen Space Reflections checkbox ☺️

I will definitely explore them more. Thanks for sharing this example! You’re fast earning the title of Eevee expert 🤘

You’re fast earning the title of Eevee expert

@theluthier now that’s the responsibility 😂 I constantly fear that I’m doing something wrong, so I just sharing my observations, not pretending to give an expert opinion.

[Grady Pruitt]

@nekronavt an “expert” is just someone who’s further down the road than we are… Even if it’s only by two or three steps 😉

Commenting to keep my place.  Thanks for the tips, @nekronavt !

@smurfmier1985 Miranda thanks for spotting the issue at your name, that the total xp chart does not show any value.

Technically it came from that on sheet ‘BC1-1808 – August Class’ your name starts with ‘*’ characther, while on the ‘Consolidated Report Card’ it was without ‘*’ so the formula stopped to work.

Now it should be okay if you check the total xp chart again

So here is a weird isue. In camrea wiev only, i get these white marks on the vehicle. Cant figure out why, but i was thinking maybe i had double set of geometry overlapping eachother.  Not sure how to fix this!

The model in object mode.
