Advice required - Opacity on label

[rainbringer147]

Hi  ,

I just signed up on the forum after years of being a keyshot user and I've been really appreciating all the information I've been finding !

To my question, I was wondering what was the easiest way to map an opacity to a label ? I have a rectangular label and I want it fading in to transparency on two sides, I know I could create the transparency on the vector file but I wouldn't be able to play with the parameters in real time...

I'm attaching what I'm trying to do, the gradient is a label and the opacity I want going down to the sides, blending the label in the black body.

thank you for the help

Gradient map in the Opacity channel of the label material. You can use the gradient to map the opacity falloff the way you want to, just tweak and move . Here is what i knocked up real quick, and the KSP is at the bottom.
