Decal or other techniques to put holes through a surface

[Jabarkis]

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a paper material and I would like to be able to punch holes in it that would be completely transparent. You can see some of the material settings below, and it’s also two-sided.

Ideally it would be possible to make a hole appear on the material based on hit location using a mask or decal-like asset.

I’ve searched around quite a bit, but the only answers I’ve found have been about applying an opaque bullet-hole decal to a solid/opaque object, so any advice would be much appreciated.

You can do it with a sphere mask
