Currently trying to produce a rendering that has glass with gradated tinting from clear to almost completely black. I've been able to get the colors right, but for some reason I'm getting these diagonal lines when I render out the view. I created the texture in Illustrator (a simple black to nothing gradient in a rectangle), exported as a png with a clear background, and uploaded into Sketchup 2020. The texture is currently set at 97% opacity within Sketchup. The renders have been exported in the highest quality the program allows. I'm attaching the render, the native gradient file, and screenshot of what the material settings in Enscape are saying...
In my example it is not a png. The face is simply divided into multiple regions and different materials applied to them. I started with a .svg file for the geometry but you could draw it with various drawing tools directly in SketchUp.
If you want the label appear different from the backside, say i.e. diffuse or dark translucent (making it lit up slightly on the backside, as typical paper) using a dark multiplier on the texture and the geometry/backfacing node, you should apply the solidify and move the inside version of the label UV is located outside. So basically, only the ouside of the glass wall should have a label.
Instead, I used one material and use the image alpha as a mix factor. The label gets white (1), the rest get black (0), and the mix shader puts a corresponding shader on those areas. Enable node wrangler addon and ctrl+shift+lmb click on the node to see the socket output, preferably in rendered view.
The only way to have objects that have different display mode characteristics in the same view is to use SetObjectDisplayMode. Another possibility is that you run in Rendered display mode all the time and play with the material settings for the different objects.
Shaded has no such general provision I know of
SetObjectDisplayMode is the only method I can think of.
I suppose you could just turn off the layer your glass is on. then it would be 100% transparent.
before you frustrate yourself further and everybody trying to help, why is that so important, what are you trying to gain by having exactly glass and not a little tweaked ghosted display mode on an objekt which will not slow down your power and will simulate glass ok for shaded? switching display modes with shortcuts makes it fast and easy. also not a problem using glass material and just having it set to ghosted for the time being while you work on it.
i.e. How do shadows & highlights behave on glass? How can I anticipate the shape of reflections on a glass object? Does convex or concave glass effect how shadows/highlights/reflections are formed respectively? It seems that light is hardest to predict where glass is thicker, or where curves & edges occur.
The easiest understanding is a difusive material. The light and the shadow are very clear indication of where the light comes from (A) and where is absence of that (B).
But things start to get complicated as we add some glossines (reflective surface) A clear highlight where the light source apears (C), but some other zones are not clear on what is going on. Some can go darker just "because" (D) and some lighter (E). But it turns out that it has no longer anithing to do with the relationship with the light source, but with the material behind that is reflected (F) or the absence of anything to reflect (D).
Our transparent material just let the light pass thru it without distorting it. But now things starts to get wierd. A the index of refraction of a material increases the light bends (K).
This is the light passing thru your glass and projected into another surface. To be able to see it you need your surface to be not totally white, so you can see it more iluminated, and add this as another highlight.
Firstly, you need a prolonged scheme of recreating the appearance of glass from existing sources. This can be based on photographs or other peoples illustrations. Trace, copy and duplicate as many different, relevant glass objects as you can find until you identify the methods that work for you. Don't underestimate the value of doing the same one over and over again to refine and speed up your skills.

We all know that designs patents cover the ornamental appearance of a product or idea. Functionality is protected by utility patents. But what if the unique appearance of your product comes from its material? Can a design patent show a specific material, substance or composition of matter? In other words, can you use a design patent to cover what your product is made of?
Be careful though. Do you really want to limit your design patent to a specific type of material? What if competitors copy your design using a different material? You do not want to unnecessarily limit the scope of coverage by creating opportunities for competitors to avoid your patent.
Design patent drawings can show that the product is made of glass or some type of transparent material. Teamwork is key to a smart IP filing strategy. Make sure to inform your patent attorney that certain materials create the unique appearance of your design. That way, proper instructions can be given to the illustrator to draft the design patent drawings a certain way. An experienced patent attorney working in combination with a skilled illustrator can help produce design patent drawings that show certain materials where possible.
You can use surface lines and cross-sectional views to indicate specific types of materials in design patent drawings. The USPTO has also prescribed the following symbols or draftsmen to indicate specific materials:
Is a certain part of the product made of a visually unique substance? If so, you can take a few approaches. First, ask about the strategic use of broken lines to disclaim the remainder of the product that you want to exclude. Second, the component you wish to patent can be drawn carefully to indicate the material, if possible. Third, you can use the title to identify the product part along with its composition.
The glass is NOT transparent yet. There are 2 things you need to change. Go to Shader Settings and change from pbr-metal-rough to pbr-metal-rough-with-alpha-blending:

The more opaque an object is the more it blocks light. because of this, when we look through transparent objects like glass the color value of what you see through it will be lower and have less contrast.
glass is usually the most visible where it is thickest and least visible where it is hollow, so try adding lines in areas of the object that are thicker- the bottom of the glass or the lip, detailing, zarfs and handles.
Due to the transparency of the glass and resin, blocked partially by the litter, light will interact with this piece in an interesting way. We will be using solar stake lights which operate on a light sensor so that at night, it will glow from within. Conceptually, we want to bring to light the issue of litter in public spaces. In completing this project, we will be transforming waste from MassArt and the surrounding area into a beautiful piece of art, and involving the Massart community in a sustainable project.
We are a well-rounded and dynamic team of artists who have been collaborating together for over a year. Combined, we possess skills in illustration, sculpture, photography, film, installation, and have done work involving suspension, use of recycled materials, and glass casting. Additionally, MassArt faculty Christopher Watts will be aiding us along the way providing information about suspension, casting, types of glass, etc. Additionally, a few upperclassmen at MassArt with experience in glass and electronics have and showed interest in collaborating on the project.
This maxi dress is the final piece in this story. The organic material will be hand dyed using the age old technique of Shibori with natural indigo dye. The use of this me honored technique pays homage to the men and women whose handicraft is well respected. This represents the humanity involved in the industry and how we can honor them by honoring their work. The wavy striped white lace provides the counteract to the web of complex supply chains. Linear chains that are transparent will allow designers and consumers the ability to see more clearly how their clothes are being made.
Fibers classes; weaving, dyeing and surface design processes. I incorporate sustainability into my lesson plan by speaking about the different cultures, processes and histories of world textiles. I address how and where materials are found and contextualize how they are used. As well as address the means of production and labor as sustainability issues.
