Mark Naden replied to Mark Naden's discussion Decal transparency"Thanks Steve, But that graphic shown is just a placeholder for a decal. In reality the decals we need to apply are too complicated to construct with surfaces. And they change often over a series of design phases so decals are the only method that is…"
Steve Baker replied to Mark Naden's discussion Decal transparency"Sounds silly, I know, but why use a decal here - just create the text as its own surfaces and set them in place?

Mary Fugier replied to Mark Naden's discussion Render Alarm"Hi Mark, This is not a feature in Flamingo.However, it is a feature in Rhino.

It would be very convenient if there were an alarm that sounded to alert me that the rendering is finished.This could be expanded to include other forms of notification such as send me an email on conclusion ...See More
Mark Naden replied to Mark Naden's discussion Liquid in glass"Hi Ryan, I tried this a few months ago with some reasonable results. But It took a lot of messing around with lighting. In any case I took scott's advice above and made a solid glass object and a solid liquid object inside with .01 space…"
Ryan Wynott replied to Mark Naden's discussion Liquid in glass"Scott,
I'm trying to come up with some props and figure the most important part of any boat is probably a bottle of rum. Take a look at this photo. I'm trying to simulate how the thickness of the glass is not apparent in the portion of the…"
Mark Naden replied to Jack Kelleher's discussion Rendering Materials switching around"Hi, Same problem here. Materials switch properties in an unpredictable way. This has been going on for some time on and off. But it happened immediately after latest download today.
I am having other odd material problems too. A solid behind a glass…"
Scott Davidson replied to Mark Naden's discussion Basic Materials Library Location"If you go to Flamingo NXT > Options, you can add additional library paths to the product. These library paths will sort to the top of the material tree list.

C: -> Program Data -> McNeel -> Flamingo nXt -> Language Packs -> en-US -> Materials
Thats where they are.
