Opacity Controls in the Render Mode?

Anonymous — Sat, 06 Jan 2018 19:56:04 GMT

Is there a way for me to adjust opacity controls in the rendering environment? It would be awesome if there is the opacity control, so I would be able to use it for a movement purpose.

That's a great question, and while you can control the opacity in the Model environment, you can't control it directly in the r\Render environment without selecting a transparent material.

Here is another forum post from @TrippyLighting that talks about it.

I hope this helps,

Hi Sachlene,

Thank you for the share. I have read it before, but it is not effective since it would take me additional time to modify the materials and the overall of the materials didn't look right. I am also kind of surprised that there is no opacity control in the Render environment even if there is in the Model environment. Adding the opacity feature in the Render environment is highly recommended.

Hey Jamie @Anonymous,

I hear you. I tried to look for opacity controls when I saw your question and I can see how they could be helpful.

if you have not already done so, I recommend submitting this request to the idea station. It looks like this idea mentions it as well, but you are welcome to start a new post on the idea station.

Thank you for your feedback!

Also a quick tip workaround to achieve some of this was just put up on the Fusion Youtube channel. You can view it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axvLUtaLjrc&feature=push-u&attr_tag=02YSkU_y7lBI6Pvl-6
