Transparent Characters: only see Background and not eyes, teeth, etc. [Assistance Needed]

Well I’m not exactly sure what’s going on. Messing around with it, I have seen some inconsistent compiles. Once, adding a metallic channel caused bugs to appear, but I can’t repro now. I’ve had it not look right after migrating these assets, only to have it work when I move a node and recompile without changing any connections. Changing the aspect ratio of your viewport can make bugs pop in and out. But, at least now, it looks good in standalone.

I put it in a material function.

I tweaked the distance function that scales the tolerance. That dealt with a few small glitches I saw.

I added a world position offset as a hack to deal with meshes using multiple material slots. Material slots use copies of the same polys, so they have to be moved(even though no value for world position offset will move them visibly) for the function to discriminate between them. Use instances with different values of MaterialSlot. If for example, you saw the patch in the middle of this char’s chest turn from green to yellow, it would mean the world position offset needs adjusting.

Anyway, here’s a project with the material on a character. Good luck.

Thank you very much. I will test it out right away. It really means a lot to me that you would put so much effort into answering my question. So, thank you.

EDIT: Okay, I have looked it over and so far it looks perfect. I am assuming the Material Slots are simple material instances, or are there any other steps needed to make another slot (other than making a material instance of First Surface)?
