        when you turn the transparency lower tahn 20%
        in SKP, vray renders it no more transparent and a lot darker. Also if you
        modify the transparency map in the Vray material editor.
        I've found it happans around 20% of transparency.
        i've got the 01.05.30 version of Vray

        hm.. Got a screenshot?

          hm... I'm guessing it's the backside of the faces you are seeing? You have applied the transparent material on one side? And use default on the backside.
          VfSU renders the backside blue when the material is default. This is similar to what you should be seeing in SU as well. Using the default style in SU you should see the backfaces as blue.

          Apply transparent material to both front and back.

            ok it works fine thank you!
            but the rendered material in the material editor is still darker
            (sse attached image).
            How can I assign material to backfaces?

            thanks again

              I never trust the material editor's preview for anything. The UV mapping is far out of scale for what I'm making and the sphere is rarely a good object to preview my materials.

              ❓ Now I'm confused. What worked if you did not apply the material to the backfaces?

                excuse me but I'm working on a big model of a '700 baroque
                villa in Turin with a lot of colums and with garden ground up and down and it is possible I'm not understandable!
                I agree: the material editor preview is not reliable.
                what I mean is:
                -the material editor preview is uncorrect (dark)
                -the final render is ok (with trasparent material also to the backfaces)
                -I'd like to know how to assign a material to backfaces in a simple way (the method I've tried seems tedious (I don't explain it because it is tedious)
                -my english is not suitable for a BBC documentary about Vray...

                  You can use this plugin: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=18992&p=155759
                  Use the Front-Face to Back-Face command. Anything you select will have their front face material transferred to backface. It digs into nested groups/components.

                      Nope. It's done when it's done.
