How to Edit FluidRay RT Materials to Make Them Transparent

FluidRay RT tutorial on how to use a texture mask to create transparent materials like leaves or billboards.

Complex organic objects such as leaves and plants require certain areas of the model to be transparent. In FluidRay RT a quick way to add transparency to materials is by using the “Obj Scattering” node and connecting an image texture to the “Opaqueness” attribute. This video will cover:

  • Use the Material Testbench to create custom materials
  • Change the scattering property to “Obj Scattering” that supports transparency
  • Assign textures to the proper attributes to create a leaf material
