Hello all,

I'm trying to make the edges of an object (a plane) 100% transparent but i did not succeed so far.
When you apply a fractal (that has transparenty) to a plane, you can still tell by looking at the edges that it is a plane. (see the attached image)

Is there any way that you can apply for example something like a "transparent from the center" of the plane (object) ?

Or even better, can you apply an edge transparency with a fractal itself ?

Thanks
Wim :-)

A fractal used for transparency will work like this: where the fractal function returns black (-1), 100% transparency, where it returns white (1.0), whith variable transparency for the grey values inbetween (the whiter, the more visible), so a fractal is of no use for what you need. You need to create an alpha mask in a paint program and apply the mask in Vue
