I have been using transparency falloff on a testtube I have created but have the following problem. Transparency FO seems to be measured from the overall dimensions of the object so on my tall testtube I got the desired effect left-to-right but have a "whole" in the middle from the top-to-bottom aspect of the fall off. I _want_ only horizontal FO. I can think of several somewhat involved schemes to apply materials with successively more transparency to selection sets of faces running certically (oops, vertically) along the object. Can anyone think of a better (read easier and less time consuming) way? – Chris Barnes PS. Anyone else feel like everyone's gone to an office party while you're still at work?…
