I’m trying to use these CombineXYZ and Value nodes for transparency and emission, especially for the black part of “sphere”. My file
Yet when I checked out sneak peak, this sphere is black. I don’t think it’s an issue of material node compatibility, as Xeon says here, “Attach a combine xyz node to transparent and emission nodes and then create value nodes as inputs to the xyz node”.
So how do I use Combine XYZ nodes and Value nodes to make both slight invisibility, and to give emission color as it appears in blender?

is partially supported. The color should be pure white.

If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.

This is the black color. A sphere colored with black is black?

So how do I prevent this, using your mix emission with transparent?

Show that file…

Increase far clipping distance
the “core” is visible from certain 90 degrees angles, but I view from different angle and it goes missing
Set
Render order
for the core to 1
Or enable Order-Independent Transparency rendering.
Or place the core exactly at the center of the sphere.

2023-10-11 at 3:45 am #67466c4ccParticipantThanks, your advice here worked. Time to apply this
2023-10-11 at 5:46 am #67467c4ccParticipantAlso, if I want to change the emission color in browser, do I use Combine XYZ and Value nodes, as per Xeon mentioned? Or is there a simpler alternative just as effective?
2023-10-11 at 6:31 am #67468kdvParticipantTry and see.
