Opacity in Element Graphs

I’m new to InstaMat and starting to learn how to work with Element Graphs. I decided to try making a metal grate texture but got stumped when trying to find the opacity output/alpha clipping output. The Material Make node does not seem to have it. Is there some way to add it?

Do Element Graphs just not support transparency/opacity at all?

Hello @vegdude and welcome to our community!

You can expose a Mask or Opacity output simply by dragging a connection from your Mask and typing in “Mask” or “Opacity” into Quick Search. Clicking on the option at the top “Expose ‘Mask’ as Graph Ouput” will create a mask output for you.

We also have a Knowledge Base article that focuses on the Opacity output which you can find here: How Do I View Transparency in the Viewport? | InstaMAT Documentation

Hope that helps!
