substance opacity to marmoset workflow

Callaby32

Hi, I'm looking for a little help...Does anyone know of a proper workflow for taking a semi transparent material such as frosted glass from substance painter into marmoset?? every time I've tried the material always imports as completely opaic... any suggestions would be great

For frosted glass you will want to use the Refraction transparency model, see episode 7 here: https://www.marmoset.co/posts/getting-to-know-toolbag-3/

I am not familiar with Substance Painters maps, but there is a slot for transparency mask (which blends between refraction and regular lambert), and another for alpha test/cutout, which is what you would want to use if you had say a glass with a broken section that should be entirely transparent.

The video linked above covers how to set up a frosted glass material in Toolbag, so be sure to check it out.
