Problem with volume lights(gaps on translucent material)

StraightDraw84

Hey I've got a scene setup with the following Material:



Now as you can see in these renders, the one with an opaque material has the volume light showing up correctly, but the one on the right with the translucent material doesn't



Is there anyway to fix this? I'm on dx11 mode but dx9 mode also has the same issue

Thanks for your help.

Expand the Transclucency group and show us what boxes you ticked. I think you need to tick Allow Fog/DOF and Separate two pass.

Hey thanks for your reply, I just tried those but no luck. Do you think it's another section?

Ace-Angel

Well, there are several other boxes, there is one also for DX11 not sure which one works for this case.

Why don't you use the Masked Material instead? It looks like it will be far less headache.

StraightDraw84

Yeah it would but for stain decals it looks plain awful, there's no blending. Masked is either opaque or transparent....

Might be a sorting issue. Call up the properties on the light cone and put "trans" in the search box at the top. Change "Translucency Sort Priority" to a higher or lower number. That will probably fix it.

Still no luck lol, this problem is really anoying

Can you show us what exactly you want to do with a decal, that you need a smooth blend? Maybe there is an alternate solution, like Vertex Blending.
