Some shader configs allow you to create completely (or partially) transparent parts on armor/clothing without needing to edit the mesh. A standard one is:<blockquote>Materials\Public\Shared\Assets\Materials\Characters\CHAR_BASE_AlphaTest.lsf</blockquote>Any transparency is added via the Base Color map, by creating a white Alpha channel and painting in parts you want fully transparent with black (grey for partial transparancy). In the game files these files might be called _BMA instead of _BM, but the naming doesn’t matter - they’re just _BM files exported with Alpha active. | Some shader configs allow you to create completely (or partially) transparent parts on armor/clothing without needing to edit the mesh.

Shaders with this term in their name allow for using vertex colors to mask parts of clothing. For example, a pair of boots are too long and clip through pants - a VertCut shader will allow you (with an appropriately set up model) to hide the part of the pants the boot overlays and avoid clipping. You can read more about them in general [[Modding:VertexColorMaskSlots|here]].
