Alt Technique for Glowing Glass OBSOLETE

OUTDATED WITH UPDATE 1.11 Emission effect (glow) added to paint.

Good timing huh? I think they took my technique and made it a thing!

A quick explaination on glowing glass with at least 25 preset different color options.  I see most glowing glass achieved with using a negative opacity.   When using this method, the color slider doesn't match the output color, an example of this is having the paint slider on red, the part will have a green glow.   This method can be a pain IMO, but it also limits color choices to around 7 colors. 

The alternative method is simple.  It was only apparent if both the metallic and smoothness sliders are set to zero together, otherwise glass will be completely invisible.  In addition to having both sliders at zero, a positive opacity of 10 (10,000%) is needed.    You can choose any color in Hex code and it will work.  Even grays.
SUPER IMPORTANT-- you must go in your world and turn the lights down to see your desired effect.   The build screen has too much lux.
Thank you for checking this tip out. * Full throttle for the plane! *

    @Vladimir1944 In the XML editor. Under transparency then opacity. Put 10. Then paint the glass your desired color. But move BOTH metallic and smoothness sliders to 0% for this specific effect.
