I made this hand and made it glow. And i am using a shrinkwrap modifier to make it react around a tree stump. Problem is.... The transparency is quite weird? is there a way for me to fix this?
(feel free to screenshot the node setup😅 )

I can't read the nodes but the shader setup is way too complicated.
Use an emissions and a transparent shader. Put them into a mix shader and use the alpha as the factor. That's it

i often dont use the transparent node that much. But what i think the problem is, is that the emisison node is well yea..... ruining the transparency because of the glow filling out the transparency? right?

It isn't. And if you are in Eevee make sure to set the material to alpha hashed

I am not in eevee

or use the color and a color ramp of the hand image if it doesnt come with any alpha

#

soooooooo.... it didnt really work

#

does your handprint image actually have alpha channel?

crimson terrace Jun 4, 2023, 6:04 PM

#

Yes, i believe

barren forge Jun 4, 2023, 6:05 PM

#

try putting a ramp between the alpha and the fac

crimson terrace Jun 4, 2023, 7:41 PM

#

it doesnt really seme to do much

barren forge Jun 5, 2023, 6:20 AM

#

cycles or eevee?

#

is this in renders or just viewport? if just viewport then do this

crimson terrace Jun 5, 2023, 8:11 AM

#

Im in cycles and this is viewport

barren forge Jun 5, 2023, 9:19 AM

#

did you change the thing above?

crimson terrace Jun 5, 2023, 9:20 AM

#

Noooo, i believe not

barren forge Jun 5, 2023, 9:21 AM

#

the shader as it is should be fine in render, but if you want it to update in the viewport then please change that setting on the material

#

click on the specific material and scroll down

crimson terrace Jun 5, 2023, 10:03 AM

#

sadly it doenst work

#

#

this is the render

#

wait..

#

eeehm, nope, it doenst work

#

okay make it as most basic as you can and then start adding stuff till it breaks. remove all modifiers

crimson terrace Jun 11, 2023, 10:08 AM

#

hi there. Im back from my break. And sorry if it took a while😅. But yes, imma remove all the modifiers and see my result

#

so when i removed the Shrinkwrap modifier, i got this result

#

#

so i scaled up the edges of the plane and it seems like the emission from the plane gets more even out onto the plane the more i scale it up

#

#

its better result, but the stump gets kind of dark where the plane is over the stump

#

should i just completly give up on the shrinkwrap method and instead texture paint a decal?

crimson terrace Jun 11, 2023, 11:03 AM

#

so i now painted in the hand into the mesh using texture painting

#

#

now the hand is there

#

but now its just yellow. This node setup is the glow material i made

#

#

Mask* (not map)

#

the mask node is seems to be the hand texture.... so that means i can just..... remove the current HAND texture to the mask texture

#

yep

#

done it

#

#

about👏 damn👏 time👏
