How to control your neon and make it look nice

Almost every time I see a post in building support, there is always one consistent problem, the neon is too bright, so I thought to myself, what if people don’t know how to control their neon, so I’ll teach you MY way. Now, my way isn’t the best, but it helps me and it could help you too, so why not give it a try?

Step 1 - Get Neon material and color

Ok so, pretty obvious, but one important thing here is color. Some good colors to work in my opinion with is red blue and yellow, but hey, you might have your other colors. For this demonstration, I use yellow

Step 2 - Open properties (if already have open, skip)

For anyone that dosen’t know how to open properties, here you go:

Step 3 - Controling Neon

Now’s here’s the thing, different objects require different transparency, (if you want it to look nice, it’s not mandatory though) a window for example:

using gyazo makes it look unsaturated for some odd reason

Just use the Transparency feature located in the properties tab.

For beginners, just toy around with it using different colors and different objects *

*Window, armor etc.

I also suggest you don’t go over .4 on the transparency because then it starts to be come visibly transparent. Before. 4, it’s hard to see thought the neon block, but .4 of up, it’s become clear to see through it. As shown below.

So, that’s one way to control neon, it’s just a quick way that can help you out with your builds! Just toy around and get used to it! Thanks for reading!
