Hello,
I have an octahedron that is partially transparent, and a textured plane (a yellow question mark). I want to place the plane within the transparent octahedron, but when I place the plane in the object, the texture becomes black. If i place the plane so it’s behind the object, it will render normally and you can see the question mark through the object. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong or missing? I’ve attached a file to show what I’m describing.
Thanks.
In the materials of the planes you need to enable ‘Receive Transparent’ under thr Material / Shadows panel so it can receive transparent shadows.
Also for the plane materials why have you enabled ‘Vertex paint Color’ in the material / Options panel ?
Disable it and change the colour of the plane something other than the current black material
Oh I see, thank you.
I’m fairly new so I’m still trying to learn what everything does, but I should have looked more closely at the materials window.

You’re talking about the plane inside the object right? I’m not sure why you saw that enabled, as I don’t see it enabled in my file… odd.
I changed the colour of the plane though, and it fixed another problem I was having, regarding the texture of the plane turning black at times (briefly after it rotates faces).
