Opacity either fully on or off, nothing inbetween.

Thane-

I have an opacity map i brought in for my model, then over that i have a fill layer with a mask for the small area i wanted to effect. If play with the fill layer i can see in the opacity map view (c key) that my opacity is changing in gray value, but the opacity will not slowly change, it changes to either on full or off fully at around 33% up from full black.

Im using the alpha blend shader with 2.0 and the latest patch. I tried the alpha test with dithering shader from Share, but thats definitely not the look im going for.

Screenshots ?

Im not exactly sure what changed, but now its behaving a little differently, but is still either 100% opaque or transparent. So here you can see i have only two layers effecting opacity, at the very bottom. Pressing C and viewing the opacity channel confirms the result of these two layers. The bottom layer is the map i imported initially, the second layer on top of that is a fill layer effecting only opacity, with a mask for the area i wanted to affect.

So now what happens is that at a 99%+ white value, the affected area is 100% opaque. Below that the area is 100% transparent.

If you disable all your groups/layers except those two, does the transparency behave correctly ?

Thane-

Nope.

Can you send me your project ? It's hard to guess the exact issue.

Thane-

Yep. I'll pm you with a link.

Thanks for the project. By looking into it I found no issues in your setup. It's most probably our alpha blending shader that has some difficulties sorting out the faces properly when the opacity channel is different from 1. Apart from using the dithering shader, I'm afraid I have no other solution to suggest.

Thane-

Okay, thanks for looking. Seems like selecting faces and dealing with opacity is already SP's forte so im sure it will be fixed eventually.
