Load tranparent/glass 3d model in nvisii

[utsavrai]

Hi,

I have been trying to load transparent objects in nvisii data generation script, but so far unable to get transparent property in the final output images. It would be a great help, if anyone could provide an example of loading any 3d transparent object in nvisii script.

thanks

Transparent objects are hard. You might need double wall in the mesh. Have you tried to load it in https://github.com/owl-project/NVISII/blob/master/examples/17.materials_visii_interactive.py and change the model it loads for yours, then play around with the material. I think I gave a quick intro to the materials in the tutorial video for nvisii. You can use alpha to make it transparent or you can use transmission (I am not sure if it is the right one) and change ior as well. You might also have to change the ray depth and number of samples.
