I can see through a model

[Páv]

I spawned a model, i see it, but it's like it's a bit opaque...
I'd like to know if the problem can be solved and how :)

Two ways.
Temporarily: You can add override materials and then go to the materials and add attribute to it with boolean (called bool here) $ambientocclusion
Permanent: Open up the VMT of the item in question and add $ambientocclusion 0 or remove any transparency it might have and have the $ambientocclusion 1 but you lose transparency. You can keep the $phong with it for ambient occlusion.

I tried the permanant one, but there isn't any $ambientocclusion in the .VMT of the material.
I don't really understand the first one ^^

Right click the animationset, and press "Add Override Materials". Then, right click it again, and press "View in Element Viewer" -> "Model".

You have to write it $ambientocclusion 0. Also if there's something about $translucent, remove it if the model does not need transparency. If you remove the $translucent, the model might actually accept $ambientocclusion 1 instead and have better shadows on it.

Go to materials, click the +, look for the green text stuff and right click on it, Add Attribute > Bool. Name it $ambientocclusion and you will get it, along with a box that can be checked or unchecked. Leave it unchecked as it is.

If the glass is a separate material (uses another VMT) then just modify the VMT for the opaque parts if they're separate. If the separate one has any transparency, remove that and make sure it has $phong and $ambientocclusion 1, and if it still looks transparent then use $ambientocclusion 0.

Anyway it worked, thanks ;D

If you want something to be not transparent watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq2SK0DWT10

This worked in SFM too but I'm trying to fix it permanently so I don't have to do it every time. I tried adding $ambientocclusion 0 to the vmt but it didn't change anything. Is there something I need to do different for SFM?
