Keep transparency in material without Translucency?

This is perfectly achievable within UE4 but this would be a translucent material with a mask in it, not a “masked and translucent” material.

True, but i was always a little bit disappointed by the limitations, that came with the translucent mode, especially with RTX. Maybe they should already create a new mode for RTX only, and then with a switch for cinematic aka i-don´t-care-about-performance ^.^

Not a graphics programmer so take this with a grain of salt, but my understanding is “masked” materials are essentially opaque in the visible areas and so nothing behind them is rendered, as a result you can’t change the opacity because there would be nothing to show.

That would make sense, thanks
