>> Don't ask me why the matte color is set to black, << George: Got it, did it… toooooo cool… up till today, I NEVER left the matte color black, I only used that to change the material color to whatever I was experimenting with… this morning I did exactly what you outlined, and it was SO transparent, (used my little computer drawing, and then a cylindrical object,) that I had to find a background that would let me see it… I do think that lighting has some impact too, will experiment. I also changed the reflect settings, by adding a very light blue as the first color, having used all your settings and only adding the blue there… didn't do anything that I could determine. I am so impressed that you read the manual… I GUESS that means I really should get mine out now and do the same… sigh… }:<
