Set Opacity Strength if desired (we used 25% for glass).
Of course you will want to use your own color settings, but this is what
our example looked like in an Iray render.
Here is another example using the Inlay to represent liquid contents.
For the best results, you will want to use some of the many shaders that
are available for Daz Studio to get more realistic looks than just
applying colors to the surfaces.
