Maxwell render question

I have just started using Maxwell render for Sketch up 2014 and am wondering why I am getting transparency on the top? I have set the opacity to 100% on the material.

Hi Jerry,

I'm afraid I can't help you with the Maxwell question. I use Kerkythea instead.

Out of curiosity, did you paint the faces in the top component or the component itself?

By the way, that table looks familiar .

Hi Jerry. Select your object and click the properties icon in the maxwell toolbar. You can set here the opacity of the group or component selected.

Yes Dave, it should. It was in fine woodworking a few months back. The top is a component and then I edited it to paint the face. Your rendering looks awesome. I'm guessing that is not a free program..

Jerry, thanks but it isn't a rendering. It's a real table. I started with Gregory Paolini's Limbert-style coffee table which I had drawn to make the plans and modified it to make a taller version as a side table. My brother then built it to my new version of the plan.

The table getting the Porsche test.

Kerkythea is a free rendering program.

Most dogs, including mine, do not have the slightest idea that they are any different from us. Looks like it passes the test!! That was my plan also was to make a side table. Oh well, nice job on the design though. Tell your brother good job on the construction too. Now wonder it looks so good...
