Alpha Blending in UE4?

GhosTDoG

Hi,

I'm a bit confused what corresponds to alpha blending in UE4?

"masked" = alpha test. But I'm looking for a way to use greyscale masks, not only b/w masks in UE4.

Thx

Use translucent blend mode. Thats alpha blend.
There is also additive. And alpha composite.

I switched to "Blend Mode = Translucent" and "Surface Forward Shading".

Now I'm looking for a way to get transparent shadows like in the "Masked mode".
Only found something in the docs regarding particles.

Thx
