Basic VMT syntax

"$translucent" 1

Additional Parameters

$alpha

"$alpha" float
  • Scales material opacity by the 'float' number.

$alphatest

"$alphatest" 1
  • Every pixel with an alpha value less than 178 will be completely transparent in game. (However, values close to this value will confuse the shader at distances.)
  • This type of shading costs much less than $translucent shading [1].

$additive

"$additive" 1
  • Renders the texture additively (Its colors are added to, instead of replacing, what is displayed behind it).
