Redshift/Greyscale Gorilla Material Issue
I cannot figure out why the white material is causing transparency on my objects. If I disconnect the blended Layer 1 Color, this transparency goes away, but I lose some of my texture. If anyone has time to look at this and can tell me what the issue is, that would be awesome, cause I’m about to lose my mind.

Hello,
Without all the textures, the .c4d file alone isn’t any help.

You are right. Feel dumb, I’ve been helping people on the AE forum for 20 years and know all the info is needed, but completely forgot that for my thing.
File with the assets are too big for here, so I posted it to my google drive. Really appreciate you taking a look, cause I’m pulling my hair out trying to figure this out.

I have requested access twice so far. Having a google drive link with access requests might not be ideal.

Gave you access and have made the link available to all.
Sorry about that, not my finest linking here.

Hello, I dont really see any kind of transparency in the white material. If there was, I would be able to see the blue plane I put behind. What I see is a lot of noise.

In your picture, where the splice plate is in the gutter, you can see this double white, where the gutter is behind the splice plate. Then there is the dark stripe where the two gutters don’t connect. That’s the transparency I’m seeing.

I tweaked your scene a little bit which (i think) fixed your issue. As I see it, the issue was that the material blender was creating something like an “alpha effect” for super close objects (thats why my plane wasn’t visible, cause it was too far away). I changed the change range node so there are not total black areas and the “alpha effect” is not visible (or better barely visible). The blend color defines the visibility of the layer color.
I hope this fix works for you.
P.S. I am not uploading your textures, cause you already have them.
P.S. 2 I don’t know who made this material but it is super slow to render.

Thank you George for taking a deep dive into this. I’m an After Effects guy from before it was an Adobe product and been dragged into learning 3D and it’s been a steep learning curve, the first two dimensions are easy, that third one is tricky. Appreciate the explanation too.
The materials were made from the folks at Greyscale Gorilla. I really like them, but even after watching hours and hours of their tutorials, I find tweaking them is a real chore.
