Opaque Transparent Translucent Objects

The classification for objects, in the graphical sense, are opaque, translucent, and transparent. These classifications determine the amount of light that may pass through an object. An opaque object is the most dense, allowing no light to pass through. A translucent object, such as waxpaper for example, will only allow some light to pass through, while a transparent object, such as glass, will allow the most light through. Most graphics programs, such as PaintShop Pro, offer help and guidance, illustrating the use of these lighting techniques.
