Why are my objects see through in blender?
Materials in Blender can be set to be transparent, so that light can pass through any objects using the material. Transparency is controlled using an “alpha” channel, where each pixel has an additional value, range 0-1, in addition to its RGB color values.
How do you make an object see through in blender?
In CYCLES select the mesh you want to be transparent. Go to the Object header and check the Transparency box. Go to the Material header, add a new material and decrease the Alpha value in the Settings panel as pictured below. You may also change the color of transparency.
What is a mesh model?
A mesh model consists of vertices, edges, and faces that use polygonal representation, including triangles and quadrilaterals, to define a 3D shape. Unlike solid models, mesh has no mass properties. You can drag mesh subobjects (faces, edges, and vertices) to shape the mesh object.
How can I See my mesh in Blender?
Doing that you will be able to see as your are working in Blender if the faces are wrong and correct them as you go along . Also you could enable Normals from the Properties panel, the direction of the normals will be shown as little blue lines. I suggest you do both of these before Recalculating/Flipping so you can see how they work .
How do you recalculate the normals in a mesh?
You can do that by selecting your mesh in Edit mode and in the Tool panel find the section headed Normals and hit the Recalculate button or in Edit mode just select that part of the mesh which has the normals facing inwards and hit the Flip button.
How to change mesh normals in Second Life?
The mirrored side has the “normals” facing inwards . A face/polygon only has one side , and that needs to be facing outwards so what you need to do flip the normals of the faces of that part of your model . You can do that by selecting your mesh in Edit mode and in the Tool panel find the section headed Normals and hit the Recalculate button
