    effects through other objects

    Is there anyway that you can get the effect to show through other objects , like glass windows or those tubes in the new dlc. Things like the fire don't work only the light and thats only on some glassed objects. Its annoying that we have all the glass objects that in reality can be seen through yet you cant seem to use any effects throught these. Sometimes the lights work but even then the colours change whenever.

    Also what's the deal with the holograms and other objects like that. You seem to have to do a full 360 to change the colour or copy it and then they still tend to change colour when in place on your drivline.

    Just wondered if anyhing can be done about these or is it just one of those things cheers

    I noticed effects don't show through "glass" like the plasma screens from the basegame, or the glass Lab tubes in Abyss DLC when I placed bubble(or any other) effects in them.

    I figure it might just be the way things are rendered, I never saw it as a bug.

    I never had many issues with the hologram objects recolor (their true color is really tied to the emission values on those too) but they are mostly 1-sided, and have no visible backside.

    Yes i dont think its a bug just thought their mights have been something i was missing or not selecting but guess its just what you said , its strange because you can see through them but they act like a solid object.

    cheers for the help dude anyway

    You could move some effects closer to the camera and before the glass, then make them more transparent and foggy colored to simulate a glass effect

    I tried to line it up just outisde the glass but i could tell but i never tried to play with the properties on this one so that might have worked although i know they wasnt in them and it bugs you when you know there not. Maybe the player wouldnt tell though so will keep this in mind on a future track.

    cheers again jolan
