When creating certain surface types such as water or glass, you need the ability to make the surface not only see through, but also give the surface a sense of depth and color. In the real world, these properties are referred to as Transparency or Opacity and the two often used interchangeably to describe the same thing.

* Transparency is used to define whether or not a surface can be seen through.
 +
* Opacity is used to define degree to which a surface transmits light. In other words, the opacity value determines how transparent or opaque (how see-through / hon see-through ) a surface is.

You can use transparency to simulate a variety of different real world surface types, including those listed below.

Intro to Transparent Materials

Creating photorealistic glass materials inside UE 5 was the topic of this session.
When creating certain surface types such as water or glass, you need the ability to make the surface not only see through, but also give the surface a sense of depth and color. In the real world, these properties are referred to as Transparency or Opacity and the two often used interchangeably to describe the same thing.
In Unreal Engine, Transparency and Opacity have two distinct meanings.

  • Transparency is used to define whether or not a surface can be seen through.
  • Opacity is used to define degree to which a surface transmits light. In other words, the opacity value determines how transparent or opaque (how see-through / hon see-through ) a surface is.


You can use transparency to simulate a variety of different real world surface types, including those listed below.

  • Hair
  • Glass
  • Water
  • Smoke or Fire Visual Effects
  • Clouds
  • Impact Decals
  • Foliage
