Opacity functions exist to speed up handling of complex opacity calculations.
Opacity Functions
The following is a list of all the functions underneath the Opacity category.
SoftOpacity
The SoftOpacity function takes in an Opacity value and then runs a variety of calculations on it to give it a softer feel. It applies a Fresnel effect, and depth-based alpha, and pixel depth. The end result causes the object to fade away as the camera approaches it.

Inputs |
||
|
DepthFadeDistance (Scalar) |
The depth at which objects have completely faded away. Only viable if using the OutputUsesDepthBias output. |
|
|
OpacityIn (Scalar) |
This is the incoming opacity value. |
|
|
FadeDistance (Scalar) |
How close you should get to the surface before it starts fading out. |
|
|
Outputs |
||
|
OutputUsesDepthBias |
This output causes the object to fade completely away to complete transparency by the time it reaches the distance set in the DepthFadeDistance input. |
|
|
OutputNoDepthBias |
This output causes the object to fade completely away as it reaches the camera, meaning there is no offset. This output is 12 instructions less expensive than OutputUsesDepthBias . |
