entire texture goes transparent

[tiny vapor]

i was followiung this tutorial where he was connecting the split node to the alpha fragment node. but when i do that my texture turns entirely transparent, while his does not!!

this is what it should be

this is mine

heres my shader nodes

in the beggining he enabled something in the graph inspecter called support vfx graph but for me it isnt shown so i didnt enabled it

[tiny vapor]

could it be causing the problem?

[gloomy gulch]

did you set the material type to transparent?

when you do this in shader graph it doesn't update the material with this shader

so it's probably still opaque

[gloomy gulch]

open surface options in the material

[tiny vapor]

you mean this material?

[gloomy gulch]

yes

[tiny vapor]

its blank? 😭

[gloomy gulch]

oh

enable "Allow material override"

[tiny vapor]

it should be transparent right?

[gloomy gulch]

blending mode - Alpha

in the tutorial they said to put it to additive tho

and it still didnt work

[tiny vapor]

i dont know what i just did but i dont think anything changed

like i pressed something on and off
