![]() This is the ‘ A‘ aspect of an ‘ RGBA‘ bitmap image (e.g. ![]() Using these types of transparent images in Blender, where the degree of opacity is essential controlled externally to Blender, is a two part process 1) a basic node-based Material is created which is then, 2) modified in Material Properties to activate the property (transparency being a ‘property’ of the image and subsequent material its associated with).Ībove (in Affinity) the ‘alpha’ (channel) element of a simple (orange blend) image is shown as grey-scale values when selected in the Channels Inspector. *.tga, *.png support alpha channels whereas *.jpg doesn’t. Real-time preview in the 3D View and other modes where objects can be seen will differ depending on system graphics capabilities, the above for example was rendered by a Radeon HD 6700M with ‘Hashed’ blending, the header image an Intel HD 4400 which had some difficulty correctly rendering internal faces ( backface culling) and shadows.ĭownload: Node base alpha example file (*.zip c.2 MB).ĭesign note: all the more commonly used image editors, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity,, Krita et al, are capable of generating alpha channels/masks but will differ in how this is done in practice, subject to format support, e.g. ![]() Important: Blender being able to properly and correctly render transparent surfaces is dependent on a number of criteria including but not limited to the application itself, system graphics and/or rendering capabilities therein. ![]() For real-time, live or game-related content creation using ( Eevee Render Engine), transparency is typically achieved through use of a separate mask image, or more commonly, the alpha channel of a standard compatible RGB image (Red/Green/Blue), that is the A component (/Alpha) of a typical 24 bit RGB A image. There are a number of ways to generate or create transparent materials in Blender. ![]()
