Now the material we have found, SourceFile "Public/Shared/Assets/Materials/Characters/CHAR_BASE.lsf" is a fairly standard shader without transparency or glowing. Materials that can be Transparent have 'Alpha' in the title. For example, "Public/Shared/Assets/Materials/Characters/CHAR_BASE_AlphaTest_2S.lsf" or "CHAR_BASE_AlphaTest_2S_Dither" will enable alpha and make the mesh visible from both sides (turns off backface culling). Underwear needs to have a Dither shader or it won't hide correctly.

Materials with _VT at the end are less useful, as they only work with virtual texture. A virtualtexture is essentially a box for textures that makes it load faster. We can pack our own virtual textures with Script Extender and Lslib, but that is beyond the scope of this page.

In order to make, say, pants disappear when boots are put on, you may need to use a _Vertcut Material, such as 'Public/Shared/Assets/Materials/Characters/CHAR_BASE_VertCut.lsf', and ensure VertexMask is set to True in the mesh lsx. (As well as vertex painting the item itself the desired colour)
