What's the best solution for this?

[Tyrael]

Okay, i want the window (light blue part) to be glass and rendered another way then all the rest of the... 'hover-car' so it prob will have to be a different object

whats the best way to solve this ? (i'll have the same problem with the lights etc. i guess)

To make it glass, edit the selected material, and set it to 80-90% translucent

good idea... but if i render the car body as chrome metal, wont the glass come out wrong then ??

Okay, i spend more time creating the envoriment and rendering the bitch then creating the actual model... i really couldn't think of anything that's possible to add to the car, so here it is (if anyone can render it with better effect/background/whatever, i can post the .ac file)

Best way is to seleted the surface you want as glass, and cut them out as an object. Get its positions then move it, remove the original surfaces and replace the glass object back in. Set the transpancary on the glass object as required and hey presto job done.

i'll try that one, thanks

If you simply want the glass as a separate object, I'd suggest selecting all applicable surfaces you want to spearate, and then hitting Ctrl-Shift-X, cut away surfaces. This cuts the selected surfaces into a separate object while leaving them in place, and spares you the moving about. :)
