How do I create a transparent label?

[leave2]

This is a really tricky one I'm having no success with at all. Is there a simple way of doing this? I'm trying to create a semi-translucent label on which I need to put an image. What are the steps to achieve this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
have you tried with a Composite Material?

Or Layered Material?

Hi Bepe,

HEy thanks for replying - yep, have tried that, and getting the label on is OK, but it's actually creating the transparency that I'm struggling with. I'm trying ot create the effect of a label that is transparent plastic with a print on the front - basically any cosmetics label if you can imagine that.

I'm struggling to get that effect. Like I say, placing the label, no problems at all, it's just getting the image to be transparent!

Figured it out - ignore me, it turned out to be very simple. I was just being an idiot!
