Texture overlaying

[IocaIe]

Hey there!

So i recently discovered that if you put a decal on a transparent block, while there is a texture behind it, the decal on the block goes semi transparent as seen:

Is there any way i could overcome this without removing the textures behind it?

Here’s what i want for it to look like when this problem is fixed

Any help would be appreciated!

This looks like a depth-sorting error. It’s a known thing in Studio and the engineers involved have said that it won’t be changed due to it being tied to mobile performance in some way.

There’s a feature request for this though:

Texture Translucency Controls

Currently on Roblox, it’s impossible to indicate how texture translucency should be handled, which means games often lose out on large amounts of performance and have to deal with depth sorting errors unnecessarily. (disclaimer: I’m not a graphics engineer, so everything in this post is based on my (limited) understanding of how the Roblox rendering system works based on my own observations. If any Roblox engineers are here, feel free to provide or correct any details if you’d like!) This will…

Thanks!

So if i’m correct this isn’t being planned to be fixed due to it interfering with mobile performance?

And is there a manual way to overcome this? I know one way to do it is by tracing the edges of the paper decal on blender, but i’m not that good on blender.

Thanks for the help!

Moving it further away from the wall, say, with a nail or hook, would make the depth sorting favour the paper since it’ll physically be closer to the player.

That doesn’t mean it won’t “flicker” if the player moves to be against the wall itself, but at least it’ll be visible when the player is directly in front.

That should do the trick. Thanks for the help!
