alpha channel 

Transparency - alpha channel of the base map ( The A in RGBA)

Low (0)	less Visible
High (1)	more Visible

surface Type : Transparent

Render  Face : Both (for Transparent)

alpha Channel  : 0~ 254

	Default	Transparent
Surface Type	Opaque	Transparent
Render Face	Front	Both
baseMap_Alpha Channel	255	1 ~ 254  ( 0== invisible )

 

alpha Clipping

invisible

more efficient way to create detailed objects

 

easier to create.

easier for computer to process ay rentime.

 

 

meshes are single-sided, no separate mesh on the back

Render Face : Both

apply the texture as the Base Map in the material.

 

cf. Mapping multiple objects on one texture - technique artists use to reduce the number of files and overall file size of a project.

Threshold : pixels at lower alpha channel values visible - white edge / higher alpha channel values invisible - cutting off the edges too close and causing some holes.
