Transparent materials

Set up transparent materials such as glass or water in Blender and display them in the Govie Editor using Transmission, IOR and Roughness.

Setup in Blender

The Govie Editor supports transparent materials for rendering glass or water. Simply increase the Transmission slider. Use IOR (Index of Refraction) to adjust the refractive index and therefore the material’s appearance. Roughness can then be used to create effects such as frosted glass.

Display in the Govie Editor

The transparent material is now displayed in the Govie Editor. Rendering transparent materials requires more processing power than standard materials, so the Govie may run less smoothly on mobile devices.
