First let me start by saying I love rendering with Houdini.
I am sort of new and I always use the default materials , but I came across a problem :
How do you apply a texture with alpha? (like a layer)
How do you apply a texture which has alpha/transparency , but that makes the background object appear. ex: to make a grid (texture based) with holes that show the object in the background . Or like a computer grill/ vents.
Any help is appreciated.
