I’m trying to replicate the behavior of Roblox’s materials where changing the color of a part only affects part of its material, like with bricks or corroded metal where the mortar and rust’s color doesn’t change. I’ve looked it up and downloaded a part using these materials, and it seems that the texture’s areas that are slightly transparent result in the color not being affected by the part’s color.
However, when I upload these same exact materials to create my own Custom Material Variant, I don’t get the same results as you can see below.
This post from last year seems to indicate that achieving this effect using transparency was possible at some point: Upgraded Materials, Material Manager, and More! - #574 by idelww
Is this still possible? and if so how to achieve it? If not, since it appears to work with Roblox’s default materials, it would be great to have access to this feature in our custom material variants too!
