Transparency

SHADER TYPE: Wrapped Mask

Wrapped Mask is a transparency type that defines the transparency of a surface according to the red color channel of a given image file. The given image file is used as a cover mask, where the red color channel of the image is translated into transparency values. The value 0, where the color does not contain red, yields a transparent surface, and the value 1, where the color is pure red, yields an opaque surface. Different values of red yield different degrees of transparency.

In this example, the color used is a raster image, and the image file used as the cover mask is the image shown below.
