I’m trying to make a fountain with transparent objects, but I keep seeing these creases in-between them where the first part stops and the second part begins, keep in mind i want to keep the “weld” pattern on it so I’m pretty sure unions won’t work.
Try creating decals for each side of the parts, except the sides where the parts touch, in this case left/right. Set the parts’ transparency to 1, which will effectively make it invisible, and the decals’ transparency to 0.5, or your desired transparency:
This essentially just replaces the original texture with decals and removes the textures on the inside, making it impossible for one of those creases to form.
I hope this solution works for you!
EDIT: Or you could just union the parts and create a studs texture using the Texture object…
