Can someone pleeease explain the difference between opacity and alpha (Of and Af in vops) to me?! Surely they are the same thing. I read the help and I don't understand the explanation!
“Opacity” - think the real thing, that is how opaque the object is (how much of light transmits through it).
“Alpha” - think artificial thing: black and white image saved as a mask inside the image, which describes transparency of it. The latter one is computed from former one, but can be overwritten with Af variable in shader.
