I suppose it means the OP-er doesn't see the model in editor/in game. I think it means an equivalent of "it's invisible". I believe he doesn't know that Transparent is a texture setting in material layers, so he's not aware of the ambiguity.What does "looks transparent" even mean?
Transparent means something is completely able to be seen through. The opposite is opaque which means something is unable to be seen through.I believe he doesn't know that Transparent is a texture setting in material layers, so he's not aware of the ambiguity.
Transparency is a mechanic for blending different images together. Or more appropriately so that the resulting texels for different fragment samples with same position can be blended together to form a pixel in the final image.In a situation where reflection and scattering isn't a factor, like the present one, wouldn't you agree that a completely transparent medium, one that can completely be seen through, also cannot be seen? This would make it pretty much the same as invisible.
