      Hello everyone,
      I tried to do a panel with a clear written letters, but
      transparency only works if it is unchecked the overall transparency:
      see attach.
      Is there a different way to achieve this?
      Thanks
      David

        If you have an alpha map (black/white) you can use it as a mask for transparency instead of having to check the box.

          Same as rspierenburg wrote, but more specific: Create a copy of the texture map you have. It looks like it is white text on a black background, right? Then edit the image so that it is gray text on a black background. Use this copy as the transparency map. The black background will be completely transparent like you have now and whatever shade of gray you use will determine how transparent the text is.

              Try this: http://www.vray.com/vray_for_sketchup/manual/transparency_mapping_in_vray_for_sketchup.shtml

              It's not exactly what you need, but it takes you through the steps.
