Transparency tint color override in custom shader

herrkjeldsen · Apr 2020

Hi! I've been following the custom shaders intro tutorial (https://vimeo.com/230487171). Basically what I'm going for is to use a tint texture instead of a uniform tint color. It seems quite straight forward with the albedo, but I can't figure out how to go about it in case of the transparency tint.

The tutorial mentions that one can override any fragment state in the state.frag file, but I am unsure which one relates to the transparency drop down?

Any pointers on how to alter the tint color to use a texture would be much appreciated

For instance, do any of these correspond to the Transparency Add Shader?

(in which case I'm assuming I maybe could start by duplicating it's function? )

That tint color is just laughing at me

Super basic test scene for reference.

I have been going through each and every .frag file in the /shader/mat/ folder structure, and I just can't figure out where/when the transparency tint color gets mixed in.

Any hints would really be much appreciated.

Is it at all possible to override the tint color in a custom shader? At my wits end
