Blender 4.2 is a kinda significant update as it includes the new version of the Eevee render (called Eevee-Next internally).

This new version relies heavily on modern GPUs and raytracing algorithms for viewport rendering, hence it's not quite compatible with Verge3D and other realtime engines. To overcome this, we implemented several changes which you should be aware of.

Transparency

Transparency settings from the older Blenders looked like these:

Most of them removed in Blender 4.2, some that remained are mostly useless now. To fix this, we've implemented several custom settings for transparency (on the material panel):

The new setting "Transparency Hacks" might be really useful to combat various transparency artifacts.

Ambient Occlusion

Ambient occlusion settings have been removed in Blender 4.2, we've recreated them as custom Verge3D settings:
