Wrapped Mask

SHADER TYPE: Wrapped Mask

Wrapped Mask is a transparency type that defines the transparency of a surface according to the red color channel of a given image file. The given image file is used as a cover mask, where the red color channel of the image is translated into transparency values. The value 0, where the color does not contain red, yields a transparent surface, and the value 1, where the color is pure red, yields an opaque surface. Different values of red yield different degrees of transparency.
