How to get a material to look white through another material

[hangoutlighting]

I am modeling a "smoked light bulb" as seen here: Light Bulb

I am not trying to have realistic light in the scene I just want the filament's whiteness to comes through the transparent smoked glass. I have tried playing around with many different material settings and I just can get it look realistic. Any ideas?

Hi,

You can try to change the emissive of filament, make the bulb transparent, and change the Transparency setting to high in the player post effects settings.
a quick example here, hope it helps.

Thanks for the reply! Your example looks like what I am trying to do.

How exactly do I increase the opacity factor post "effects settings"?
I've tried a few things but I can't seem to get it.

I have an emissive filament and the bulb is transparent.

For the 'Transparency' in the "Post effects" setting, there are only two options "High" and "Low", they use different algorithm to do render on the transparent objects, 'High' give better accuracy about the transparency in order, but it will slow down the webgl render speed compare to the 'Low'.
