I made a transparent material but I cant get light to pass through it from one side to the other.

Does anyone know if there is any trick to making lightmass work with a transparent material?

    Is that what you're looking for, or this?

    so I guess:

    Lit materials

    BLEND_Translucent and BLEND_Additive: Transmission = Lerp(White, Diffuse, Opacity)
    BLEND_Modulate: Transmission = Diffuse
    BLEND_Masked

    Unlit materials
    BLEND_Translucent and BLEND_Additive: Transmission = Lerp(White, Emissive, Opacity)
    BLEND_Modulate: Transmission = Emissive
    BLEND_Masked

    Perfect Ben I had a go re-creating "this" :P and got it working with your setup. Not sure what I was doing wrong the first time around if I figure it out I will post back here.

    As always you've been a huge help thanks a bunch!
