Gray Shuko concept / help with marmoset?

monkeymintaka

Hey guys, I saw this Gray Shuko concept in one of the Monthly Noob threads and loved it, so thought I would give it a go. I thought it would be really quick to do, as it is fairly simple, but I got busy with work so it has dragged a bit. I think I'm almost finished except for emissive for the windows and lights, but am having some problems in Marmoset, which i am fairly new to.

The Concept:



What I have so far:







I mainly wanted to keep it really low poly and close to the style of the concept. I'm pretty happy with it, for a simple exercise, but a couple of things are bugging me...if any one could help:)

I am having trouble with transparency in Marmoset: below are two balcony's both the same geometry with the same UVs, but one is acting really wierd.





An then below geometry is popping on and off.



If anyone knows about marmoset, or have any critiques that would be awesome. Thanks for reading

Nice concept. My only concern is that the windows are a little to big. In the concept the windows are more "cute" in you model more realistic.

Have you tried using the refraction material? From what I remember, it sorts alpha better than the standard material in marmoset.

I think there is no way to set the priortity of transparent stuff in Marmoset, so the Z-buffer doesn't know which element must be rendered first. I had the same problem some time ago with a character, it had a transparent helmet and transparency on the eyelashes, it didn't work.

Finally I put it in UDK where you can set the priority right. But if there's a solution in Marmoset, I'm eager to know it too ^^.

Thanks for te replies, I will give the reflection material a go, if I can figure it out.
