Do keep in mind however, that all of the functionality in 2.93 should also be in 3.0. The Blender 2.93 release notes are available here and contain several more changes and improvements. In perhaps more exciting news, Blender 2.93 Beta was released yesterday. x releases, such as Blender 3.1, 3.2, 3.2, etc. This means going forward we will only see. One significate development with Blender 3.0, is it is going to be the first new release under the new Blender numbering system discussed last year. You can read the (rather empty) release notes for Blender 3.0 here. This is literally just the next version in the sequence and as of right now, the only new feature is the new Asset Browser.

Transparent (no alpha) areas will then show a checkered background.', but I cannot find these buttons anywhere.In what sounds like a massive release, but really isn’t, the Blender Foundation have just released Blender 3.0.

In this link it mentions in the tip ' In order to see the effects of the Erase and Add Alpha mix modes in the Image Editor, you must enable the alpha channel display by clicking the Display Alpha or the Alpha-Only button. I feel like I'm missing something obvious. I've set up a nodes 2.93.5 shader like this hoping it would work: ply file shows the vertices with the alpha set to zero: I have tried Workbench, Cycles and EEVEE as the renderers:Īn exported 2.93.5. Here's another blueish painted plane with the bottom two vertices with Erase Alpha applied. Trying to reproduce this in 2.93.5 doesn't work.

The Renderer is set to Blender Render as per default. Note that in 2.79c I'm using the default material and have done nothing more than start Blender, added the plane mesh and then applied the vertex paint and erase alpha. ply file shows the vertices with the alpha set to zero, (the rightmost value, the 'A' of the RGBA value): In Blender 2.79c you can see the effects of Alpha transparency using the Erase Alpha brush mode on the bottom vertices:Īn exported 2.79c. The only attribute the vertices will have is an RGBA colour. Note: The meshes are to be used in a game engine with no textures or normals etc. I can see the alpha transparency in Blender 2.79c (nightly build) but not in 2.93.5. I'd like to use Blender 2.93.5 for modelling vertex coloured meshes but I'm unable to see the effects of Erase Alpha in vertex paint mode.
