Boolean and Opacity

 

I created a 2d outline using the sline tool of a window. I used smooth tool on the top edges to make it rounded like a window.

 

I use the UVW map modifier tool to make a solid shape and extruded it to make it 3d. I move copy the shape to make 2 of the same shape. I used the scale tool to make the shape smaller to make the hole for the window.

 

 

I copy the smaller shape and scale the second one thinner to make the glass for the window. I scaled the first smaller shape thicker so it can intercept the big shape.

 

When the shape was being intercepted I selected the big shape and went onto compound objects tab. On this I chose boolean and used operation subraction (A-B) to take out the thicker shape to make the hole.This hole is the same size as the thinner shape so i just move that into the hole to make the glass.

 To make the glass opace I go on the material editor and put opacity on 50 to make it half transparent. I then go on photoshop and make a tiff file which uses the alpha channel. I put this tiff file in diffuse map and opacity map. On both maps I choose Alpha source image alpha
