Hi,
How can I put a decal on a revolved glass surface?
I've made a 2-layer material with an opacity mask, which works fine in itself. One glass layer, and one paper layer above with an opacity mask and a texture on reflectance 0-channel.
1. If I use a planar or "divided box project", I end up having the decal repeated on the inside of the glass surface, and on the backside. If this would have been a non-transparent object, that would have been fine. But it isn't.
2. If I try to split the front surface, and make two different materials - one glass material without the decal, and on with the decal. And then only use the material with the decal on the front side,. this does not make the glass material behave anymore. Perhaps because it is not a solid object anymore.
Anyone got a clue for a different approach? ...or will I not be able to use a decal with opacity masking on a transparent object?
Best regards,
- Björn
