Transparency
Make faces see-through or visible again without touching their color.
Sets the alpha of the chosen faces from invisible (0.0) to fully visible (1.0), leaving the color untouched. Use it to hide and show parts: an optional collar, a hood, a HUD panel.
Fields
| Field | Required | What to enter |
|---|---|---|
Target | Yes | $THIS or a scanned target. |
Link Names | if multi-prim | Which prims. With ALL LINKS, each prim uses its own faces. |
Faces | Yes | 0–7 or All. |
Alpha | Yes | 0.0 invisible … 1.0 visible. Decimals allowed (0.5 = half transparent). |
Notes
- Color is preserved.
- PBR too. Since version 1.2.2 transparency also applies to PBR faces (the face is switched to Blend while it is transparent).
- Hidden prims still receive clicks. To also stop clicks, combine with Ghost Object or accept that an invisible button is still a button.
- Cheap: 15 units.
Example: hide/show a hood
