Fusion 360 materials displaying oddly in A360...

[mcramblet]

I've already posted this issue in the A360 forum, but thought it wouldn't hurt to do the same here, since I'm not sure where the issue originates. The standard transparent materials in Fusion, which I use all the time, have looked fine when viewing models in A360. I posted a link to a new model and when viewed in A360, it's hardly visible and the object shadows are overpowering. I thought it might have been something to do with the model, but I followed links to older projects that look fine before and now, they all have the same problem, very hard to see. I've played around with the settings in A360, but nothing seems to help, models using the Acrylic material, for example, are hardly visible.

Here is an example:

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this. Something, somewhere has recently changed, regarding how transparent materials are being displayed in the cloud.

Here is a tray that was able to be clearly seen in A360, now is very difficult to see:

Hi,

Did you check the settings menu?

@SaeedHamza-

I did, I've played with all of the settings and environments, without anything making a difference.

There has been an update that affects transparent materials in A360:

"I did hear back from the team and there has been a change to the viewer so that transparent materials are more translucent than they were before. Shadows have not been updated yet and the team recommends disable shadows and instead try using reflections. No ETA on when Shadows will be updated but wanted to share this with you for now."

I'll post a link to this thread on the A360 forum, just in case someone else has this same issue and finds themselves here:
